Tragic and devastating news to wake up to that our icon and world marathon record holder, Kelvin Kiptum is no more. My condolences to his family and that of Coach Gervais plus the athletics and sports fraternity for this moment of grief and mourning.
@WorldAthletics
The beauty of world records is that they are set to be broken.
Phenomenal Kelvin Kiptum has done it in style and pose. 2:00:35 is breathtaking. The bravery we want to continue seeing. Marathon world record just got elevated.
Well done!
The Kenyan spirit and the Kenyan resilience always triumph.
Bravo our Shujaa 7s Rugby team for a well-deserved ticket to Paris 2024 Olympics.
