Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Sports enthusiasts across the country joined in ecstatic celebrations after marathoner Eliud Kipchoge shattered his world record in the Berlin Marathon on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Among those who extolled Kipchoge were his teammates at the Global Sports Communication (GSC) in Kaptagat, who watched in awe as he dominated the streets of Berlin.<\/p>\n

Former world Half Marathon record holder Geoffrey Kamworor said Kipchoge’s win had boosted his morale.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is our mentor and breaking the world record is a morale booster. I spoke with him while in Berlin and he promised to push his limits. This time, being a marathon season, it gives us morale ahead of many races ahead,\u201d Kamworor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has set the bar very high for us and that will motivate us in training,\u201d said the two-time New York marathon champion.<\/p>\n

Former Toronto Waterfront marathon champion Laban Kipngetich Korir was happy with the win and the world record, stating that they had a long discussion before Kipchoge left for Berlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs training mates, we don\u2019t see what he did as a miracle because having trained with him, we knew he was going to break his record,\u201d Korir said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore he left for Berlin, he told us that he would break the world record and we are happy he did it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs his teammates, we feel motivated ahead of our races. He is a good mentor in our camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former World Youth 3,000m steeplechase champion Sally Chepyego said she was impressed with Kipchoge\u2019s performance, especially the style with which he won the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a teammate, he has already motivated me and I hope to do better than him,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

Young athlete Erick Kiplagat Sang lauded Kipchoge for staging a commendable performance in Berlin.<\/p>\n
