By BERNARD ROTICHMore by this AuthorReigning London Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge faces strong competition both from his fellow Kenyans and Ethiopians as he seeks to retain his title on Sunday. On paper, the world record holder and reigning Berlin Marathon champion is the overwhelming favourite. He will be competing against 2017 London Marathon champion Daniel Wanjiru, former world record holder Wilson Kipsang and world half marathon record holder Abraham Kiptum. Last year Kipchoge won the race after running in 2:04:17 ahead of Ethiopia’s Shura Kitata who clocked 2:04:49. I’m just going out there to run and to try and retain my title,” the Olympics marathon champion said.
