Eliud Kipchoge, the illustrious Kenyan marathoner, announced on Thursday that he will compete in the Sydney Marathon this August. The 40-year-old athlete, celebrated for his consecutive Olympic marathon victories in 2016 and 2020, first broke the sub-two-hour marathon barrier in 2019 with a remarkable 1:59:40 in Vienna. Despite the feat, it was not officially recognized due to non-standard competition conditions.
