ELIUD KIPCHOGE insists he will only be persuaded to retire when he sees the whole world lacing up their trainers.
The Kenyan, 40, is the final marquee athlete announced to compete in this year’s London Marathon, an event he has won a record four times in the elite men’s category.
Kipchoge took some time to reset after failing to finish a marathon for the first time in his career at the Paris 2024 Olympics, but now feels he’s ready to challenge the world’s best in April.
