肯尼亚马拉松世界纪录保持者凯尔文·基普图姆（Kelvin Kiptum）和他的卢旺达教练加维斯·哈基兹马纳（Garvais Hakizimana）在肯尼亚的一场车祸中不幸身亡。 Kenyan marathon world record holder, Kelvin Kiptum, and his Rwandese coach, Garvais Hakizimana, have tragically died in a road accident in Kenya. 这位 24 岁的运动员最近创造了历史，在 10 月份的芝加哥马拉松赛上打破了同胞埃鲁德·基普乔格 (Eliud Kipchoge) 的世界纪录。 The 24-year-old athlete had recently made history, breaking compatriot Eliud Kipchoge's world record at the Chicago Marathon in October. Kiptum 原定于四月参加鹿特丹马拉松比赛，人们对他首次在正式比赛中突破两小时大关充满期待。 Kiptum was due to race in the Rotterdam Marathon in April, where there was much anticipation for an attempt to break the two-hour barrier in an official race for the first time. 世界田径主席塞布·科向基普图姆表示敬意，称他是“一位令人难以置信的运动员，留下了令人难以置信的遗产”。 World Athletics President, Seb Coe, paid tribute to Kiptum, describing him as an "incredible athlete leaving an incredible legacy."
