Eluid Kipchoge takes The National Sport front page on Monday, August 22, 2016 after blitzing the field to win marathon gold at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The 31-year-old Kenyan broke away at the 35km mark and romped home to win in a time of two hours, eight minutes, 44 seconds, well over a minute quicker than Ethiopia’s Feyisa Lilesa, who took silver. American Galen Rupp claimed bronze in 2:10:05.

How to turn your property into a holiday home
- Ensure decoration and styling – and portal photography – quality is high to achieve maximum rates.
- Research equivalent Airbnb homes in your location to ensure competitiveness.
- Post on all relevant platforms to reach the widest audience; whether you let personally or via an agency know your potential guest profile – aiming for the wrong demographic may leave your property empty.
- Factor in costs when working out if holiday letting is beneficial. The annual DCTM fee runs from Dh370 for a one-bedroom flat to Dh1,200. Tourism tax is Dh10-15 per bedroom, per night.
- Check your management company has a physical office, a valid DTCM licence and is licencing your property and paying tourism taxes. For transparency, regularly view your booking calendar.
