'My determination is bigger'- Daniel Ebenyo charged up for more glory after Chicago Marathon debut
Daniel Simiu Ebenyo capped his season with an impressive marathon debut at Chicago Marathon, finishing fifth in 2:06:04 and has expressed determination to continue building his legacy.
“Live in the future with itel P65. Every moment is a masterpiece with itel P65 by your side. Also check out the new charging cases which are now available,” Ebenyo posted on social media, promoting the qualities of the product.
Before the Chicago Marathon, Ebenyo had not finished outside the top three in all his races this season bar one, the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, which served as Kenya’s Olympics trials for 10,000m.
A combination of misfortunes conspired against him and he ultimately missed out on a chance to feature at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Ebenyo arrived late in Eugene owing to a visa delay and also tripped and fell during the race, ending up eighth, when only the first two across the line earned direct tickets.
Those tickets went to Daniel Mateiko and Nicholas Kimeli and any hopes of Ebenyo earning the third and final one from the Athletics Kenya panel of selectors went up in smoke when Bernard Kibet, who was third in Eugene, was selected.
He was left to rue the missed opportunity, accusing Athletics Kenya of giving him false promises over a ticket to Paris and he sought to wipe off his tears with a good performance in Chicago. He will now be looking to right those wrongs at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.
