Two-time Amsterdam Marathon champion Bernard Kipyego is targeting a monstrous 2021 after his quest for a hattrick of titles in the Dutch city on October 18 was frustrated at the last minute by the coronavirus pandemic. Kipyego – who won the Amsterdam Marathon in 2014 and 2015 – is disappointed that his three-month intense training for this year's race has gone to waste. Even then, we move on to next year,” said Kipyego, who is currently hard at work in training at Eldoret’s Kipchoge Keino Stadium. The 45th TCS Amsterdam Marathon was cancelled by organisers Le Champion and the Municipality of Amsterdam due to rising Covid-19 infections in the Dutch capital. Kipyego recorded a personal best of 2:06:22 in 2014 edition of the marathon and is already looking forward to 2021.
