NAIROBI - Eliud Kipchoge, the world’s greatest marathon man, reckoned his first reaction was shock when he heard at home in Kenya that the 2020 Olympic Games had been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
For the moment, though, the 35-year-old insists his only concern is to care for his family at their home in Eldoret. “You know the Olympic Games is whereby everybody wants to participate ... it’s in the dreams of every sportsman in this world..”“It’s a great time for us to go back, train again and we will come back with a lot of energy,” he said.
London had promised the mouth-watering prospect of a head-to-head with Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele, the only other sub-2.02 marathoner, but Kipchoge said he was yet to think too far ahead about competing in the rescheduled race on Oct. 4.Kenya has confirmed 42 coronavirus cases, including one fatality, with the country having imposed restrictive measures to arrest the spread of the disease. It even affects their brilliant runners.
