Hillary Kipsambu. The tiny, in size, athlete from the rift valley has really improved in the last five years from a debut in just under two hours 17 minutes to 2:04:44 in Paris today, October 17, 2021. Late bloomer at the age of 36 and hopefully he can keep going until Paris 2024. Such an efficient style in the marathon he is really a model for this event. Great things come in small packages in the marathon although on the same day in Amsterdam the winner Tola, Ethiopia, is tall and thin with the size of 1 m 81 and weighing only 59 kg (5.11/130!) BMI 18:00. He ran 2:03:32.
Kipsambu, bests.
