Berlin Marathon champion and new world record holder Eliud Kipchoge arrived back into the country on Thursday with no fanfare.
Kipchoge was allegedly spotted leaving the Eldoret International Airport in the afternoon. Kipchoge smashed the previous world record held by compatriot Dennis Kimetto by a massive one minutes and 16 seconds, clocking 2 hours, one minute and 39 seconds to retain his Berlin Marathon title on Sunday. The Olympic champion will be hosted to a breakfast meeting on Monday by Governor Stephen Sang, before later commissioning the Eliud Kipchoge Sports Complex in Kapsabet.
