I will use my experience and share my knowledge on how to handle the challenges associated with being a sportsperson,” he added.
Speaking at the nomination event, AK president Jack Tuwei described Kipchoge’s selection as an obvious choice.
“His achievements, from his early success in track to becoming the only person to run a marathon in under two hours, are a testament to his discipline and unwavering commitment,” Tuwei said.
