Evans Chebet won the 126th Boston Marathon men’s race in an unofficial time of two hours, six minutes and 51 seconds to claim his first Boston Marathon title.
The marathoner according to a video doing rounds insisted on being interviewed in Kiswahili after the win.
2:06:51, the third-fastest winning time in race history.
It’s the first World Marathon Major victory for the 2020 Valencia Marathon champ.
Past champions Lawrence Cherono and Benson Kipruto take second and third.
@GKKiarie
Excellent. This should be the standard for every Kenyan sports person.
Speak even in mother tongue its OK !!
@WebboIts
Wish more kenyans would normalize this instead of struggling with a language they don’t fully comprehend
@GodfreyAira
kama kiswahili. Most athletes struggle to speak that one as well. Wazungumze kikalenjin
@Robertkashu
Mimi husema they should be talking in their mother tongue
@amaniandema
that’s Great c ati watuskume na Kizungu Miingi. let the international community know that we have a national language
@Karey_mwari
Me I would even talk in Kale and it be their business to look for a translator
@twende123
This is how it should have been all along. Other non English athletes do, so why would one struggle. Mimi kwanza nitachapa dialect mbaya mbaya!!
