Kenya's Emmanuel Korir is confident of clocking a world record in an 800m race - he's just not sure when.
The 23-year-old, who trains in the United States, believes he has the strength to challenge - and eclipse - Olympic champion David Rudisha's current record of 1:40.91.
Korir's personal best is 1:43.10, which he set at the Monaco Diamond League meet last year.
