Kipchoge, Bro O’Connell and Kip Keino honoured in Principality of Monaco during World Athletics Gala.
For a country mired in divisive politics, it was ironic that the athletics world on Saturday night in Monaco was united, and rightly so, to look up to Kenya to breathe life into a sport admittedly in need of honest souls and self-renewal.In chilly and rainy night in the French Riviera, Kenya stood head and shoulders above the rest yet remained humble when the peerless Eliud Kipchoge was named the Male Athlete of the Year and later said his sub-two hour feat in Vienna on October 12 was for humanity.To say the night belonged to Kenya may be an understatement.
