Kenyan EliudKipchoge remains the undisputed greatest-ever men’s marathon runner, suggests Michael Sherman | ANA
JOHANNESBURG – As the current world record holder, and winner of 11 of the 12 major races in the 42.2km distance he has competed in, Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge is the undisputed greatest-ever men’s marathon runner in history.
Kipchoge, in addition to his 2:01:39 marathon world record he set at the Berlin Marathon in 2018, is also the only man to have broken two hours for the 42.2km distance in an unofficial attempt in Vienna last year. Kipchoge would have been ready to defend his title at the London Marathon in April, but instead was left wondering what might have been before all races were either suspended or cancelled.
Still competing in the 5000m at the 2004 Olympics, he claimed bronze. In total, he made five 5000m finals at the World Championships. He would go on to win 5000m silvers at the 2007 World Championships, 2008 Olympics and 2010 Commonwealth Games.
