LONDON (Reuters) - Olympic champion David Rudisha equalled the best time in the world this year as he won the 800 metres at the Glasgow Diamond League meeting on Saturday.

Rudisha, who is still recovering from a knee injury that cut short his 2013 season, returned to Britain for the first time since shattering the world record at the London Olympics and won Saturday's race in one minute 43.34 seconds.
