Kenya was yesterday basking in international glory as its marathon icon Eliud Kipchoge raised its flag high up, literally, upon conquering the INEOS 1:59 Challenge.
The moment the marathon hero received the Kenyan flag from Deputy President William Ruto, who was among the party that welcomed the triumphant Kipchoge at the finish line, flew it up, before wrapping his back with those national colours as he received congratulatory hugs and acclamation; it was a case of a single man branding his country and placing it high on the global map.
