China Daily  

Warming up with a group of Chinese children during his recent visit to China in November. AGENCIES Love of the sport Following his Olympic setback, Kipchoge opted to take a break and rest, a much-needed pause after a remarkable career marked by dominance and resilience. With a running career spanning over two decades, Kipchoge attributes his enduring drive to a profound love for the sport. "The inspiration that I am still into, the general humanity in this world, is what motivates me to wake up early every morning and go for a run," he said. "I aim to shift the mindset of the running community, to show it that we are not limited — neither in our minds, nor in our pain, nor physically," he reflects.
