Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge has 'huge expectation' to win a historic third successive Olympic marathon gold medal in Paris this year.

Eliud Kipchoge said he had "fulfilled" his legacy after retaining his Olympic title in Tokyo three years ago

Kipchoge finished over four and a half minutes adrift of Kipruto in Japan, but that result has not made him concerned about his chances in Paris on 10 August."I don't know what happened but it's life, it's sport. It's the beauty of sport."Kipchoge was in Paris on Thursday as part of Kenya's kit launch ahead of the Games

"So the rabbit of the Olympic Games is what I'm chasing now. After that I go back to the drawing board, see what's in my bucket list and start again to chase the next."
