US Ambassador Kyle McCarter visits Eliud kipchoge

We wanted to meet Kipchoge not because he is a world record holder but because he is a good example to the future generation,” said McCarter.
US ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter has said the US government will collaborate with Kenya to improve athletics and basketball in the coming years.
Addressing road and track athletes at Global Sports Communication in Kaptagat, Elgeyo Marakwet County, McCarter said that US will collaborate with Kenya to promote sports and integrity as well.
McCarter who was accompanied by his wife Victoria, hailed Olympic marathon champion and World marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge for inspiring Kenyans.
Eliud Kipchoge is a Kenyan marathon champion, who among his many achievements can count a gold medal at the Rio Olympics. Since the age of 18 when he beat established runners to clinch the 5000m gold medal at the Paris World Championships, Eliud has racked up numerous wins at the world’s most competitive marathons such as Berlin, London, Rotterdam and Chicago. In 2017, Eliud completed the fastest marathon time in history for Nike’s Breaking 2 challenge.
The United States of America ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter has promised to collaborate with Kenyan government to improve sports in the country.
While on a tour of Global Sports Communication Training Camp in Kaptagat, McCarter said the two nations can be sporting giants if they work together.
“National Basketball Association will be visiting Kenya to check on the sport and see how they can help improve and make it better. Basketball is becoming big sport in Kenya and we shall have NBA delegation visiting the country to try and see how we can work together in terms of improving the sport,” said McCarter.
