Marathon Icon Kipchoge Feels Motivated Despite His Paris Setback, Says He Learned From The Experience
Eliud Kipchoge: Kenya's marathon icon Eliud Kipchoge says he will dust himself off and keep his head up despite a disappointing performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics and said he has learned from his experience. Kipchoge, marathon gold medalist in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, was eyeing his third consecutive Olympic title in Paris, but he finished on a disappointing note as he withdrew from the race after around 30 km due to the effects of a back injury.
The Kenyan admitted the withdrawal was a blow to him but said he also learned from the experience, reports Xinhua.
"It's really like a setback, but you know, I treat it as a challenge because sport is always challenging. The idea is to accept what has happened and move on. Sport actually is living, a life being lived every day," Kipchoge said during his ongoing China tour.
