In October 2021, President Uhuru Kenyatta congratulated Kenyan marathoner Eliud Kipchoge for winning the 2021 ANOC Award for the Best Male Athlete at the Tokyo Olympics.
The President said the prestigious ANOC Award is a global recognition of Kenya’s prominence as a sporting nation, and advised upcoming athletes to emulate Eliud’s determination, humility, hardwork and patriotism as they build their careers.
