It's like when I woke up to hear that Prefontaine had died😢 I'm in shock.
The marathon version of Len Bias . This will be probably the biggest what if in athletics history… maybe all of sports history
Oh my
How???? 😢😢😢

RIP man, my all time favourite athelete…it's unfortunate that you passed away so soon but yet the short run you had was just legendary…it was unheard of that a young marathoner who hasn't had any experience at the track can achieve so much in a Marathon…I remember in the Venice Marathon the commentators mocking Kelvin saying he was too enthusiastic and he would just hit the wall, but you got faster and faster,in the London too the commentators again didn't think highly of you but you proved all of them wrong… it's not a what if… you are the greatest marathoner and for me the greatest athelete who ever lived… you are an inspiration. It's sad we can't see you run anymore
Zero more World Records from that splattered bug
He represented Kenya in a superb manner.
He was such a great athlete of his generation.
8:53 There will never be another athlete like him 🕊🤍
Absolutely heartbreaking. He will be missed. Rest in peace Kelvin Kiptum.. you have changed running as we know it and inspired so many. My deepest condolences go to his family, coaches, and everyone in the running community that he touched <3
r.i.p Kelvin Kiptum
RIP, what's this bad unsafe car brand? Let's avoid
Can someone tell me the name of the song used in the background at 7:00
💔
He said he'd hold the world record one day, and he said he didn't know if he could improve his world record time, and that while he'd love to win a medal at the Olympics, it was by no means nailed on to happen – all of these things came true, it's almost poetic… A pretty fucking shite poem mind you
Rest in peace legend
😢 RIP Legend Kelvin Kiptum 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪. We in Kenya are mourning the loss of a great young legend. Our son is no more. We have an older legend and an upcoming now and future legend just passed… the Olympic gold and athletic records hopes dashed and a life so young gone with so mich prospects, for his personal life and in athletics.
The world and the athletics world is at such great loss.
Rip Legend Kelvin Kiptum. Rambirambi kwa familia na wakenya wote. Mungu awape neema na amani katika jina la Yesu.
😢
Not only did he have unbelievable athletic potential, but he was also a human being who died way too early. Rest in power
REST IN PEACE BROTHER AMEN 🙏
Such a shame to see a world class athlete go so soon, RIP Kelvin.
RIP.
I've worked in Kenya before. Jesus Christ I don't even know how I'm alive. There are no driving regulations as such. Obviously there's speed limits. But you have people over taking around corners. People over taking the over takers. The roads are absolutely atrocious. There are no mot standards. Random speed bumps on the bypass. You don't know if you're on the right side of the road or not. You have oncoming traffic in your lane for no reason. It's anxiety all the time.
REST IN PEACE KELVIN KIPTUM WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON
RIP Kiptum and his coach
I saw the thumbnail and was confused i came in hoping that i would see it a clickbait!
Now i cant believe what i feel…😢😢😢
May his soul rest in peace 😢

Greetings from Finland!
How did he pass?
Done 2:00:35 run 2 days ago (23km) to honour this legend. Rest in power legend! 💔😭😔
Kelvin Kiptum, you will be remembered as a true legend, a trailblazer, and a visionary. You showed the world what was possible. Saisere, nekitupche.
I'm not really marathon and running but it was such a big loss for mankind. I mean this guy is so good and we always should try to give our best to achieve our goals. Rip Kiptum
I know we all need time to mourn and process the loss of this great runner, but so far I have only heard ONE news outlet talking about the arrests of 3 of the 4 men who showed up at Kiptum's house days before, looking for him and speaking in ways that intimidated his father…???
may his soul rest in peace. God please comfort his family .
3:33–3:35 there is a monster on the road behind him! Wtf is that thing?
