World Record in Chicago
A tragedy that strikes the world of sports and athletics. Last year, Kiptum broke the world record of his countryman Eliud Kipchoge (2h.01"09) by winning the Chicago marathon in 2h.00"35. He also triumphed in London, another of the world's most important marathons, and was one of the favorites for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
