Eliud Kipchoge has been crowned the 2018 male athlete of the year at a ceremony held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on Tuesday on Tuesday December 4th.

The 34-year-old Kenyan won the London Marathon in April in 2:04:17 to finish comfortably ahead of one of the deepest marathon fields in history.

Five months later, he won the Berlin Marathon in 2:01:39 to smash the world record. His time in the German capital was 78 seconds faster than the previous world record, representing the biggest single improvement on a men’s marathon world record since 1967.
