World marathon record holder, Kelvin Kiptum, dies in a car cra§h. The men’s marathon world record holder, Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum, 24, has died in a road accident in his home country. He was k#lled alongside his coach, Rwanda’s Gervais Hakizimana, in a car on a road in western Kenya on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Kiptum made a breakthrough in 2023 as a rival to compatriot Eliud Kipchoge – one of the greatest marathon runners. Kiptum bettered Kipchoge’s record, clocking the 26.2 miles (42km) in two hours & 35 seconds in Chicago last October. The two athletes had been named in Kenya’s provisional marathon team for the Paris Olympics later this year. Kipchoge said on X that the man who broke his record was a rising star who had “a whole life” ahead of him to achieve “incredible greatness”, offering condolences to his family. Also paying tribute, Kenya’s President William Ruto described Kiptum as an extraordinary sportsman who had left a mark on the world. The road accident happened at about 20:00 GMT on Sunday. https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAZLFsKmCPRo8rOUQ29/5253 |

This is a tragedy to the sports world. At 24, this guy had decades of running and record to set ahead of him. He will be sorely missed. |
