Xinhua news agency, nairobi, march 30, the world record holder of men’s marathon and the famous kenyan general kijogg said in an interview with the media on the 30th that the tokyo olympic games was postponed until 2021 to allow athletes to have time to prepare for the war better.
“We will definitely beat the new Crown epidemic. Now all our energy is to ensure the health of my family and I.” Kijoge said in an interview with Reuters.
The 35-year-old kipog is the marathon champion of the 2016 Rio Olympics. The one-year delay of the Tokyo Olympic Games meant that the veteran’s road to defending the throne added new uncertainties, but he strongly supported the decision to postpone the Olympic Games.
“I was a little surprised to know this news, but I know it is a right decision to postpone the Olympic Games.” Kijogg said, “Everyone wants to participate in the Olympic Games, which is the dream of every athlete. (Tokyo Olympics postponed) let us have more time to prepare for the training, and we will have more energy when we return to the stadium.”
Kipojogg set a world record of 2 hours at 1 minute 39 seconds in the Berlin Marathon in 2018. In October 2019, he completed the marathon in an experimental challenge at 59 minutes 40 seconds in one hour. Although this result cannot become a new world record, kipog became the first person in the world to run a marathon within two hours.
