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.
