World record marathon runner killed in car accident in Kenya

Marathon world record holder Kelvin Kiptum was a “special talent” who would have gone on to have an “incredible career”, says Sir Mo Farah.

Kiptum, 24, died in a car accident alongside his coach Gervais Hakizimana in his native Kenya on Sunday.

He broke Eliud Kipchoge’s world record last year and was set to compete at this summer’s Olympics in Paris.

“Kelvin was an amazingly talented athlete and had already achieved so much,” Briton Farah said.
