Kipchoge has achieved everything. At that level and at age 40, really only the Olympics would be enough to get him excited. I think he will pumped and confident and will rise to the occasion.
Kenya is making a big decision that i admire . This shows that they are willing to take risks. Kipchoge has not bin at his best this year and also last year.but despite this they are still giving this man who is the greatest marathoner of all time a chance at making Olympic history to become the first man ever to win 3 Olympic golds over the marathon. Many other nations would have just said “ no he isn’t good enough now” which is fair considering is recent form in Boston and Tokyo all be it he did still win the Berlin marathon but Kenya have showed that they are willing to take risks and sometimes a gamble can be what gets you a big victory across all aspects of life. Respect to Kenya for this decision
As reported by ESPN, Bekele is one of three men selected by the Ethiopian Athletics Federation to represent Ethiopia in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This will be Bekele's fourth Olympic Games and the first time he has represented his country in the marathon
I wouldn’t write him off in the Paris summer heat. He’s struggled recently in cooler weather and in trying to race younger athletes chasing the WR. In a more strategic race in the heat, ignore Kipchoge at your peril!
Still destroying me emotionally that Kiptum won't be there💔
Saying Cierpinski is a repeat gold medalist is worth at least an asterisk.
EKip isnt the goat as most think. Hes top 5 distance runnner all time but not the goat of any distance.
whether Kipchoge wins or not, he has already solidified himself as the greatest marathon runner, imo.
I don’t even feel like watching after the passing of Kiptum man. I’m still so effed up over that 😭
Two athletes racing in the olympics with a 20 year gap? That must be a record. Medaling together with a 20 year gap would be even crazier.
Clickbait much
Are we getting Kipchoge vs Bekele on the streets of Paris???
Too old, kipchoge is burnout.
What about women?
Rest in Peace Kiptum 🕊️

So saddening not being able to see kelvin kiptum part of the race😔
Rising star Kiptum will be missed 💔
The olympic marathon is going to be a bitter sweet moment no matter the Victor.

Great to see the two legends in the race even if they don't medal it will be a classic
That would be amazing!!! Best marathon ever!!!
