westmoors 12 Feb 8:34am, 12 Feb 2024 8,257 posts	0 westmoors Very sad news. I was looking forward to seeing him compete against Kipchoge. I thought they would push each other to the sub 2 hour.

Jef 12 Feb 9:43am, 12 Feb 2024 13,084 posts	0 Jef Such a massive loss. We can only speculate on how far he could have taken the marathon. .. was really looking forward to his Olympic appearance. Suspected we’d see him really race it. ☹️
Surrey Phil 12 Feb 9:58am, 12 Feb 2024 10,203 posts	0 Surrey Phil A huge shock when I read the report this morning. An official sub-2 hour marathon was being planned this year plus the Olympics. I was really looking forward to watching him progress even more as we already have with Kipchoge. All very sad indeed.
Left Foot 12 Feb 8:36pm, 12 Feb 2024 410 posts	0 Left Foot Terrible news, and a huge shock. I had to double check it was a real headline. Sadly it is. So young. Very sad. RIP.
