Last month, at the Berlin Marathon, Ethiopia’s Tigist Assefa broke Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei’s 2019 run record by finishing in 2:11.53, and, last Sunday, Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum, in his third marathon in Chicago, zoomed past the most high-profile long-distance runner Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge’s record by 34 seconds by finishing in 2:00:35.
With Kelvin Kiptum setting the bar at just 35 seconds over 2 hours, Eliud Kipchoge will be aiming for lower in his six World Marathon Majors next year.
In his entire 10-year road-racing career, Kenyan legend Eliud Kipchoge has only raced 17 official marathons and has failed to win just thrice.
Eliud Kipchoge, 38, finished sixth at the 2023 Boston Marathon.
Let’s face it, test cricket has become an anachronism, a relic of the past preserved precisely because it is a slice of history and needs to be preserved.
