In a post-race video, EliudKipchoge said he experienced an issue with his right ear during the LondonMarathon, which led to his underperformance.
. He began to lose contact with the leaders with about 5K left to run.After the race, a visibly upset Kipchoge explained what occurred.
“I am truly disappointed. I always wanted to win to show people you can always win if you focus yourself and always get good results. I’m sorry about this, but that’s how sport is.”“His right ear got fully blocked. From then he also didn’t go for the drinks anymore, and it somehow affected the whole system,” Valentijn Trouw, Kipchoge’s manager, said via text message.
“Sport is unpredictable, but you know what they say: If you want to enjoy sport then you accept the results. So I accept the result and congratulate all finishers.”
