As the track stars are feeling the pressure ahead of the Paris Olympics 2024, they faced a hard blow today. Kelvin Kiptum, the Kenyan long-distance runner dreamt big of securing podiums and bagging accolades this year. But his dreams came to an unfortunate stop as the dreamer bid goodbye to the mortal world. Having fallen victim to an unforeseen car crash, Kiptum and his coach gave up on their combined pursuit of excellence. But there’s something to be concerned about Kelvin Kiptum’s death.

Having run the fastest-ever marathon debut at the 2022 Valencia Marathon, the 24-year-old was on a spree, unlocking golden treasures. The following year, he broke the world record by 34 seconds at the Chicago Marathon race. But no more to come. Particularly in ruins, Kiptum’s father tries to recognize the sinister motive behind the 24-year-old’s death.

Samson Cheruiyot has a confession after Kelvin Kiptum death

In a recent X post, Kiptum’s father opened up to the media with some unknown. Dan Chepta’s post reads, “Kelvin Kiptum’s Father reveals that four men showed up at home looking for Kelvin Kiptum four days ago and refused to identify themselves and he is asking the government to investigate”. A father’s instincts matter in a situation like this. Whether his plead will be considered or not is a matter of time now.

Moving on, another of Dan Chepta’s X posts has four questions directed to the authority. “Who handled this car last..? Who was on the road at that time he was driving…? What did he eat or drink last…? Who are the stranger people who went to Kiptum home 4 days ago..?” Since everyone was cognizant of Kiptum’s Olympic goals this year, the news of his passing has sent shock waves across the globe. But his family is especially broken, and his father’s words are sure to leave worldwide fans weeping.

Grandfather unanswerable to Kiptum’s children

Citizen TV caught Cheruiyot speaking, “Kiptum was my only child, now he has left me, his mother and his children. Now, I do not know what to say. His children are now looking at me, what will happen. If my son was here, he is just 24, he would have earned a lot and helped us”.

Having always dreamt of reaching the pinnacle, the past few days were almost sleepless to Kiptum. This time, he was desperate to make it to the top. But no one knows what tomorrow holds.
