News about Eliud Kipchoge

Kate Carter, the woman who has held a world record for running a marathon in a full body costume, was accused of running fake times at last year's festival. Carter, 47, was described as running the entire marathon, but it was also suspected that an online survey based on a course map that was four years old was inaccurate. Last April, the amateur writer who is Commissioning Editor of Runner's World magazine came under fire for reportedly 'course cutting' at the London Landmarks Half Marathon. However, Ms Carter later revealed that this was down to her having a 'Paula Radclife moment' and wetting herself while running, as well as her subsequent embarrassment in trying to clean herself up.

Kiptum, 24, died in a tragic car crash that also killed Rwandan coach Gervais Hakizimana, who was also killed in Kaptagat, Western Kenya's high-altitude region, long known as a training base for the best distance runners the world over. The runner's death came just five days after World Athletics announced his world record of 2:00.35, which he set with a spectacular triumph in last year's Chicago Marathon. His death sparked an outpouring of grief and heartfelt tributes from family, friends, colleagues, and sports legends, as well as Sir Mo Farah's who spoke of his 'amazing, unique talent' and that he had been stripped of 'an unforgettable career.' The deadly accident was quickly ruled out by the authorities, who said that the dad-of-two had lost control of his car and veered off the road, collapsing a tree. However, Kiptum's father has ordered an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his son's death, claiming that a group of unidentified men had arrived looking for him only minutes before the horrific car crash. MailOnline has a preview of the circumstances surrounding Kiptum's death and what we learn so far about the tragedy that has rocked Kenya and the world of athletics.

DAVID COVERDALE: It was supposed to be one of the showdowns of this summer's Olympics. Kelvin Kiptum vs. Eliud Kipchoge, December Kipchoge. The nascent pretender plays the old master against the old one. With the two-time Olympic champion, the world record holder will go toe. The two fastest marathon runners of all time never met together before, but they were ready to face opponents in August on the biggest stage of all.

Kelvin Kiptum, a Kenyan long distance runner, died at the age of 24 after a car accident just five days after his amazing marathon world record was ratified by World Athletics. Kiptum ran a record-breaking time at the Chicago Marathon in Ocotober. Kiptum set a new record of 34 seconds off the previous record set by compatriot Eliud Kipchoge, who was running over the marathon distance for the third time.

Following Kelvin Kiptum's tragic death, World Athletics President Seb Coe has led the tributes to him. It was announced on Sunday night that marathon world record holder Kiptum had died at the age of 24 following a car accident in his native Kenya. In October, Kiptum made history by defeating the Chicago Marathon by 2:00.35, defeating Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge's world record by 34 seconds. His record was only officially acknowledged by World Athletics last Tuesday.

Carter, 47, was in the majority of the run, but it was possible to manually enter GPS information based on a course map that was four years old, according to the newspaper. At the London Landmarks Half Marathon last April, the amateur journalist who is Commissioning Editor of Runner's World magazine has also been accused of suspected 'course cutting'.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: 'Let me tell you something,' I tell you.' Hope is a dangerous thing. A man can fly to a place of terror by hope.' Red to Andy, Shawshank Redemption What hope is there for Manchester United?How many more yards of foulness and sewer must they crawl through before they emerge from the other end of the pipe?Or to put it another way: is Sir Jim Ratcliffe their rock hammer? He's certainly the best man for this metaphor - he's got his way into rock better than most. Fracking is his game. He fraught his way to a fracking career, but United, a club imprisoned by their history and sealed in on both directions by the impenetration of their presenters. But this is just a prediction of the future. What comes next and whether Ratcliffe is the man to bust them loose, we'll find out shortly.

DAVID COVERDALE: Kelvin Kiptum obliterated the men's marathon world record in Chicago on Sunday, defeating Eliud Kipchoge's previous record by more than half a minute. In a record-eligible run, the Kenyan stormed to victory in Windy City in 2:00.35. Kiptum's time was 34 seconds faster than his compatriot Kipchoge's record of 2:01.09, which was set in Berlin last September. And the 23-year-old continues to walk on a marathon course and become the first man to crack the two-hour barrier. In Vienna, Kipchoge clocked 1:59.40, but that did not count because it was run in a controlled environment against World Athletics' rules.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY DOMINIC KING: Are you ready?' Paul Mulrennan smiles as he knows what is in store. 'Let's do it,' says the author.' Mulrennan, a well-known figure with more than 1,000 career victories, has given Mail Sport a chance to experience a day in the lives of a jockey. This is an examination of self-sacrifice and discipline, physical limits, and the ability to cope with loneliness and trembling. While some people believe the search of winners is straightforward, it was possible to gain a new degree of insight into what effort is expended just to get a ride. Never has the old adage of 'doing the hard yards' been more appropriate.

Despite profiting greatly from an official's mistake, Victorian runner Dane Verwey (pictured left and right) has unselfishly given the winner's money to a competitor in the Melbourne Mornington Half Marathon last weekend. He has been lauded for his brave act of good sportsmanship.

Kelvin Kiptum (left) won the London Marathon course for the first time on Sunday afternoon, defeating the record holder in the capital. With an incredible time of 2hrs 01mins 27secs, the Kenyans achieved in a record-breaking time. That run is the fastest in London ever and the second fastest of all time, only behind Kenyan veteran Eliud Kipchoge (right)'s all-time record of 1hr 59 seconds in Vienna in 2019. Kiptum, 23, became exhausted towards the end of the game and missed out by just 18 seconds on Kipchoge's world record.

Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum won the TCS London Marathon after completing the second fastest marathon in history. With a time of 2hrs 01mins 27secs, the 23-year-old set a new course record of 2hrs 01mins 27 seconds. Kiptum was dehydrated near the end and missed out by 18 seconds on Eliud Kipchoge's world record. However, Mo Farah's last London Marathon and possibly his final major race will be decided in 9th place by fellow Brit Emile Cairess and Phil Sesemann, who was surpassed by fellow Brits Emile Cairess and Phil Sesemann after a promising start to finish in ninth place.

Many may be wondering if we will see a runner finish in under two hours with the London Marathon approaching this weekend. Eliud Kipchoge set the world record for the fastest 26.2 mile (42.2 km) run in 2 hours, 1 minute, and 9 seconds during the 2022 Berlin Marathon. However, he did beat this time and reached the elusive sub-two hours record three years ago in a park in Vienna, Austria, but not as a record. If someone beat Kipchoge's time, the London marathon will meet the record set, and with technological advancements, we're closer than we've ever been. MailOnline looks at some of the latest technologies and products that may help an athlete make it to the finish line in less than two hours.

The Boston Marathon takes place one decade after a terrorist bombing at the finish line of the race and subsequent manhunt, killing four victims and one of two attackers. On Sunday, the Boston Marathon bombing took place, but reminders of the tragedy were evident throughout the 127th running of the event. A robotic dog was seen checking the area for bombs outside of the usual signs and memorials. Photographers had followed it, capturing the strange location. This year's competition includes survivors of the One Fund tragedy in 2013, as well as friends and family of the victims and those raising funds for related causes.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Steve Thompson was on the phone the other night. Despite all, he was in a good mood. He's figured out that finding out how much money he'll expend before his deteriorated brain hits him with the bill is the biggest thing. Even when you're forgetting so much else, it's still a better Christmas than the previous one, which is why he, Steph, and their four children had a happier Christmas than the last one. It's why he knows how to take a daytime nap if he goes on holiday now. It's also why he decided to cancel his plans last Monday and Tuesday, knowing he'd need to recover from the exhaustion of watching England play Italy at Twickenham on Sunday.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has revealed that although he has informed the Glazers family of his decision to purchase Manchester United, he has been told that the club is not for sale. "I want Manchester United in its entirety," Ratcliffe said in an interview. I have been notified that my position is now owned. Joel and Avram are really nice people, and they don't want to sell it.' We would have certainly had a go at it if it had been for sale.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Mo Farah will limit himself to a watching brief at the London Marathon on Sunday, but he has been encouraged to continue his career by the best there ever was, with an injured body and fading strengths. Farah's withdrawal with a hip injury is the first of many blows of misfortune to befall the race's designers, who have seen their top fields be impacted by injuries in the build-up. It has also led to reports that his days of competitive athletics are over, with some reports claiming he may have called time if his presence in the capital has made him not one of the front-runners.

To be precise, Kenenisa Bekele's opinion of himself, there is no room for discussion at all. His emulation comes with some justification, considering that the Ethiopian has three Olympic gold medals, 17 world titles spanning cross-country, track, and road, as well as world records for 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters for 15 and 16 years respectively. He is also the No. 2 on the all-time marathon list. Bekele is of the opinion that his accomplishments over a wider area of distances give him the edge over Eliud Kipchoge.

According to TCS London Marathon race director Hugh Brasher, Sir Mo Farah should take inspiration from Eliud Kipchoge's continuing defiance of age before deciding to retire. The 39-year-old has been non-committal on his future ahead of Sunday's tiling in the capital, with reports that the four-time Olympic champion has stated that if his results fall short, he might call it off. Farah, who lost to a club runner at the Vitality 10k in May, has previously raised those doubts by saying: 'If I can't compete with the best, why bother?' However, Brasher has stated that Farah should not be written off' and pointed to Kipchoge's setting a new marathon world record at 37 years old last Sunday.

Eliud Kipchoge's physical endurance will continue to be redefined. That he is 37 years old is no obvious obstacle to a double Olympic champion who set a new world record on Sunday and then said he could also get faster. Given that he slashed an incredible 30 seconds off the record set in the same city in 2018, he held the race in under two hours, he was out of place in Berlin for two hours, one minute, and nine seconds. The debate around the best marathon runner of all time has long been settled, but the Kenyan has gone beyond athletics to create one of the most impressive bodies of work in any form of sport.
