Through his twitter account, the former President whose roots are in Kenya applauded Kipchoge, mentioning his ability to endure and raise the bar setting high standards for humanity.
Yesterday, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge became the first ever to break two hours. Today in Chicago, Brigid Kosgei set a new women’s world record. Staggering achievements on their own, they’re also remarkable examples of humanity’s ability to endure—and keep raising the bar.
