CNN —That a crowd of thousands gathered for the funeral of Kelvin Kiptum was testament to the marathon world record holder’s staggering impact on his sport. “You ask yourself so many questions as to why, but sometimes it’s hard to get answers,” double Olympic gold medalist David Rudisha tells CNN about his compatriot’s untimely death. “The last few weeks have been a really sad moment for Kenyans,” says Rudisha, himself a world record holder over 800 meters. “Kelvin was very special, coming up and running just three marathons, all of them under two hours, two minutes. “Everybody feels good to watch a world record,” he says.

CNN —Before his life was cut short at the age of 24 in a road accident, Kelvin Kiptum had been intent on achieving even more history in his brief but extraordinary marathon running career. Of the seven fastest marathon times in history, Kiptum owns three of them. “I offer my deepest condolences to his young family.”Kiptum stands next to a timer displaying his marathon world record in Chicago. He raced his first marathon in Valencia two days after his 23rd birthday and within the space of a year had become the world record holder. “I will get close to the sub-two barrier, so why not aim to break it?” Kiptum had said in November.

☆ London Marathon: Sifan Hassan lays claim to being greatest female distance runner with thrilling victory
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
That’s precisely what Sifan Hassan did in the London Marathon on Sunday, though her stunning, chaotic victory in the women’s race was anything but straightforward. Hassan (center left) passes Big Ben on her way to an unexpected victory in London. Rather than making a long-term commitment to the marathon, Hassan thought she would test herself over the longer distance and still race on the track this summer. “I was telling myself that I’m stupid that I decided to run the marathon,” said Hassan. Prior to that, she broke the 23-year-old mile world record at the start of 2019 and won 1,500 and 10,000-meter golds at the world championships a few months later.
