These are the official results of the Men's 800 metres event at the 2001 IAAF World Championships in Edmonton, Canada.
There were a total number of 37 participating athletes, with five qualifying heats, two semi-finals and the final held on Tuesday 7 August 2001 at 19:50h.
André Bucher came into this race having dominated these same competitors throughout the Golden League season.
Bucher started hard but Wilfred Bungei pushed the break to take the lead past the bell in 50.41.
From there he just continued to pull away from Bungei, opening up over 5 metres by the finish line.
