'I can’t believe I said that'- Junelle Bromfield apologizes to Noah Lyles over Beyonce comment
Noah Lyles’ fiancé Junelle Bromfield has sparked buzz after a playful Beyonce moment and cultural adjustments during training.
"It's really like a setback, but you know, I treat it as a challenge because sport is always challenging. The idea is to accept what has happened, move on,” Eliud Kipchoge said.
“Sport actually is living; a life being lived every day. I think next year I'll run a very good competitive race to bounce back from the loss in the Olympics."
The four-time London Marathon champion also went down memory lane on breaking the two-hour barrier that opened his eyes. He revealed that making history shaped his mindset and since then, he has been trying to change people’s ideas too and enlighten them.
He is currently on a tour in China where he seeks to impact the lives of people and encourage a spirit of running among the people. Eliud Kipchoge revealed that he will invite some Chinese runners to Kenya to train with him to help them become better athletes.
"Through breaking the two-hour barrier, I realize that no human is limited at all. Everybody can do whatever you set as a goal. And you know, I've achieved that. I've tried to remove the thinking from the minds of many people and make them know that there is nothing impossible in this one,” Kipchoge said.
"I am really happy and grateful that I can be back in China. And we do want to bring more people to run marathons, not for competition actually, but to run and get that accomplishment, and gain confidence to solve any problem in this world.
