53-Year-Old Track Star Proves Threat To Eliud Kipchoge After Historic Run at 2023 Berlin Marathon

While Eliud Kipchoge became the reigning world champion in the World Marathon, another Kenyan runner was not so far behind in his debut marathon. Being 31 seconds behind the legendary Kipchoge, he finished a remarkable second place in the race. Witnessing an outstanding performance by the long-distance runner in his maiden marathon, the sports enthusiasts are thinking him as a potential threat to Kipchoge’s supremacy in the marathon.

The Kenyan runner Vincent Kipkemboi stunned everyone with his pace, competitive streak and tactical sharpness on his marathon debut, coming home just a few steps behind Kipchoge at the Berlin Marathon 2023. Unfortunately, Kipkemboi clocked 2:03:13 and could only settle for the silver at the international marathon race.

In his debut at the event, he competed against an in-form Kipchoge, who eventually proved too good for him, but regardless of that, Kipkemboi still shone as a runner. It indicated that he has now become an upcoming star in the Long distance race field.

53-year-old Kipkemboi exhibited that he still has the ability to maintain his blistering speed for a long duration of time, and outmatch his fellow competitor. The prowess of Kipkemboi stunned the critics and the spectators during the race and made them eagerly anticipate for his next race. Track Spice, in their official Twitter handle, shared how Kipkemboi is emerging as a threat to dethrone the legend Kipchoge, “Little known Vincent Kipkemboi who was only 35 seconds behind Eliud Kipchoge in Berlin. This was his first World Marathon and he finished second. He might be a threat to Kipchoge’s throne in the near future.”
