Two-time Olympic Games gold medallist in 800m, Kenya's David Rudisha, is keen to train Indian sprinters and middle-distance runners when he calls time on his illustrious career.

The 34-year-old two-time world champion in 800m, who defended his 2012 London Olympics gold in Rio four years later, also said winning back-to-back gold medals at the quadrennial games is not easy but India's ace javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra can achieve the feat if he continues to train the way he was before the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Rudisha, who is reaching the "end of my professional career", added his retirement could open up opportunities for him to coach aspiring runners.

Asked if he would be keen to train Indian sprinters and middle-distance runners after calling time on his professional career, Rudisha, 34, said, "Well, after I am done with some level 1 and 2 coaching programmes, yes I can have a fresh start and that (coaching) could be an option.
