Marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge and Colombian jumper Caterina Ibarguen were named the 2018 IAAF male and female athletes of the Year respectively during the award event held in Prince Albert of Monaco.
“I was happy not only to break the world record, but to run two hours and one minute,” Kipchoge said.
“I have internalised it now and accepted,” he jokingly said.
