But a big shock in the world of athletics. The new world record holder in the marathon, Calvin Kiptum from Kenya, was killed in a tragic car accident and passed away at the age of 24. His coach was also killed in the accident along with him.
Kiptom is considered the big story of the world of long runs in recent years. He ran his first marathon in 2022 in Valencia, and even then he set the third best result of all time. In the Chicago Marathon held on October 8, he set a new world record of 2:00:35 hours.
