Once again, Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge was on Sunday declared the BBC Sports Personality’s World Sports Star of the Year 2019.
Hours after he was rewarded by The University of Exeter in Doctorate Degree of Law from the University, Kipchoge had already been honoured with Doctorate Degree of Science at Laikipia University on December 6.
Earlier on, the world marathon record holder retained his World Athletics 2019 Athlete of the Year title.
He defeated American golfer Tiger Woods and USA footballer Megan Rapinoe, who co-led her team to World Cup victory again this summer.
Kipchoge became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours when he conquered the INEOS 1:59 Challenge in one hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds on October 12, this year in Vienna, Austria.
