Congratulation Kipruto for the great Run and winning in your race.

The trick is to pretend there’s a racist trumptard chasing you.

The 10,000 m final at the Tokyo Olympics will be insane. Top class runners like Rhonex Kipruto, Joshua Cheptegei, Hagos Gebrhiwet, Selemon Barega, Yomif Kejelcha, Samuel Tefera, Geoffrey Kamworor, can all vie for gold. I can't wait.

Watch out for this kid-Rhonex! He's still in high school. He's gonna be a great world class runner and a super - star athlete in future.
