Kenyans vs Ethiopians in ParisThis early, it looks like the Kenyans and the Ethiopians will clash for the marathon gold in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Kenyan team is bannered by former world record holder Eliud Kipchoge and Benson Kipturo, the 2021 Boston Marathon and Chicago Marathon champion. The women’s team is likewise explosive with Peres Jepchirchir, who recently broke the women’s only world record by clocking 2:16:16. The other team members are former women’s world record holder Brigid Kosgei and 2024 Boston Marathon back-to-back champion Helen Obiri, with 2024 Boston Marathon second placer Sharon Lokedi as reserve.
