The world is holding its breath as Eliud Kipchoge, the undisputed marathon maestro and Tecno mobile’s brand ambassador, is poised to win a third Olympic marathon gold medal at the Paris 2024 Summer Games.
The prospect of this historic achievement has not only sent waves of excitement through the athletics community but has also underscored the indomitable spirit of a man who continues to redefine the limits of human endurance and achievement.
In 2023, TECNO picked Kipchoge as the brand ambassador for its flagship Phantom X2 series. §
“Kipchoge has mastered the art of making the impossible seem ordinary. He is not just running; he is crafting a legacy that embodies sheer excellence, innovation, and perseverance,” said Ray Fang, the TECNO National Manager
The 39-year-old’s list of accomplishments is a testament to his unparalleled dedication. From his awe-inspiring sub-two-hour marathon feat in Vienna to his victories in prestigious marathons around the globe — London, Chicago, Tokyo, and Berlin, to name a few — Kipchoge has proven time and again that the word “impossible” does not exist in his dictionary.
Kipchoge’s imminent triumph in Paris would not just be a personal victory but a historic one for Kenya, as he becomes the first and only Kenyan athlete to compete in five Olympic Games. As he prepares to grace the iconic streets of Paris, one can almost hear the echo of a nation’s pride and a global fanbase cheering him on.
His recent triumph at the 2023 Berlin Marathon, where he became the first runner to win five Berlin Marathons, is just another chapter in a book that seems to have no end.
“With his third Olympic gold medal on the horizon, Kipchoge’s legacy as the world’s greatest marathoner is undeniable,” added Fang. “He has challenged what was believed to be physically possible over the 42.1 km distance, famously clocking an incredible time of 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, cementing his name in the history books.”
