NAIROBI, April 27 -- The 2020 sports season is lost to many sportsmen, but London marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge hopes to return stronger in 2021 and win a back-to-back Olympic title.
In 2016, Kipchoge reclaimed Kenya's gold in the marathon, which was first won by the late Samuel Wanjiru at the magnificent Bird's Nest stadium in the 2008 Beijing Olympics but was lost at the 2017 London Games to Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda.
Now the 35-year-old is dreaming of adding another feather to his illustrious cap by having a great addition to his impressive distance running record to win the second gold on the Olympic marathon.
"If all goes well next year 2021, I will defend my title in the marathon in a competitive field and probably post a good time. It will add more to my running career," Kipchoge told the Olympic Channel.
Over a decade ago, Kipchoge felt like he had the inspiration and energy to finally get crowned the Olympic champion in Beijing.
He was making his second appearance at the Games having clinched bronze at the Athens Games in 2004. But he had to wait another eight years to win the Olympic title.
"I was really in shape in Beijing. Even with two laps to go my mind was telling me, 'You will be Olympic Champion this year'. But I had no more fuel and Kenenisa Bekele won the race," he said.
Now the two men, despite missing out to meet at the London marathon on Sunday, are set to clash at the Tokyo Games in 2021. It will be their fifth meeting over the marathon distance. Kipchoge has won all four previous shows.
"It's true, Bekele beat me several times on the track. But I have won all the races in the marathon," said Kipchoge.
Kipchoge became only the second Kenyan after Wanjiru to win an Olympic marathon.
