Marathon legend Paul Tergat believes there won’t be any void in Kenya athletics as double Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge enters the later stages of his illustrious career.
Tergat who serves as the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) president, believes the country has enough talent to continue with the records that Kipchoge boasts of as far as marathon is concerned.

3 Americans Set to Stop Shericka Jackson's Bid for Redemption in 200m Season Debut
Shericka Jackson will begin her 200m comeback on Saturday, aiming for redemption while facing a fierce American trio out to test her.
Kipchoge, the fastest living marathon runner, will take part in the 2025 London Marathon this Sunday.
Tergat showed his full support for Kipchoge’s decision to continue competing: “Kipchoge is a legend, he has achieved so much in his career as an athlete. The idea of continuing to inspire others is a good one and we love that,” he said.
“I’m happy that Kipchoge has that idea, he wants to still continue to inspire others not by being number one, but by remaining active in sports and giving back.”
Why Tergat remains Proud of Kenya's Paris Olympics achievement
Tergat, who has been in NOCK leadership since 2017, is particularly proud for the results achieved at the Olympic Games Paris 2024: “We were at the top of Africa, but also when it now comes to individual sports within the Olympic movement, like athletics, we were ranked number two globally behind the United States,” he said.
