Eliud Kipchoge has written history before, but his next challenge to become only the third man in history to successfully defend the Olympic marathon title is aspiring.

For a man, who only jumped to the marathon after missing out to make Kenya team to London Olympics back in 2012, to revolutionise the sport and leave fans dreaming of how fast the human species can run, Tokyo Olympics will certainly be of importance to him.
