- I am very happy and proud.
After I won my second Olympic gold in Japan this summer, I returned to Tokyo with the goal of reaching a good time and running at 2.02 is strong, winning a new track record, says Kipchoge to his own stable NN running team.
This summer's Olympic victory came in Sapporo, 80 km north of Tokyo, because they feared the heat in the capital.
Without mentioning Ukraine, Kipchoge had a message of peace.
- Finally, I want the world to be united.
If there are difficulties, we should meet and talk about it, not war.
My profit I hope will spread a positive spirit in this world, says Kipchoge who now has three of the world's four fastest marathon races of all time.
Kipchoge's compatriot Amos Kipruto was second on 2.13.13.
Kenyan world record holder Brigid Kosgei won the women's class on 2.16.02 ahead of Ethiopian Ashete Bekere
Kipchoge is the only one who ran the distance for two hours but it is not an official time because it was too arranged with a companion car like hare and a lot of runners who only ran for the Kenyan.
His world record for the distance is 2.01.39 from Berlin 2018.
