The world record holder helped Kenya secure another gold medal in the early hours of Sunday morning in Sapporo
Harambee Stars and Montreal Impact midfielder Victor Wanyama is among the Kenyans who have praised gold medal winner Eliud Kipchoge for his heroics at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Kipchoge displayed a dominant performance in the men's marathon on Sunday morning as he ran across the streets of Sapporo to retain the gold medal.
The world record holder - who developed a friendship with Wanyama since his time at Tottenham Hotspur - clocked 2hr 08min 38sec to win gold and he became only the third man to win consecutive marathon titles.
