Eliud Kipchoge Speaks After Missing Race for the First Time in 10 Years

Eliud Kipchoge Speaks After Missing The Berlin Marathon for the first time in more than a decade miss out on this year’s race.

The 39-year-old, who failed to finish his marathon at the Paris Olympics, is not the only big name missing from this year’s lineup.

In an interview with Olympics.com, Kipchoge noted that he was okay following the race as a fan instead of a participant and noted that the gold medal was open for anyone to claim it.

“Everybody has a plan and at the back of their mind know what they need from that race. I would advise them to stick to their plan and trust their minds and their systems, like what the coach is telling them,” he stated.

“For me, I could have just been there as one of the fans and a past winner of Berlin to celebrate the 50 years. To just thank the fans and the organisers for the many years of support.”
