Eliud Kipchoge, widely regarded as the greatest marathon runner of all time, is determined to secure a third Olympic marathon crown next year, despite his disappointing performance at the Boston marathon two months ago.
Kipchoge, who holds two Olympic gold medals and numerous world records, remains insatiable in his pursuit of new challenges and aims to write history once again.
Although victory in Boston and New York has eluded him, winning these marathons would make him the first man to have all six major titles under his belt.
Kipchoge’s focus now is on the Olympics, with the Paris Games in 2024 holding special symbolism for him, as it was the city where he won his first international crown.
Reflecting on his recent setback, Kipchoge has analyzed the reasons for his performance and remains confident in his abilities. As he prepares for his final marathon of the year, Kipchoge continues to train diligently and inspire young athletes to aim higher and surpass his records.
He also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing drug testing in athletics, as doping remains a concern that needs to be addressed to maintain the integrity of the sport.
