Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum: Marathon world record holder dies in road accident

Such a tragedy; he leaves behind a wife and two kids (the eldest of which is about 9 yo).

Very tragic. Honestly could not have been more surprised to see this headline. I fully expected him to break the two-hour mark. Very sad for him, his trainer, and their families.
