About this episode
World marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum will be buried on Friday in his village in south-western Kenya.
The 24-year-old died in a road accident two weeks ago alongside his Rwandan coach Gervais Hakizimana.
Kiptum’s death comes after several tragic incidents which have claimed the lives of Kenyan athletes in their prime.
In today’s Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja talks to former Boston Marathon champion Wesley Korir and asks if athletes are faced with greater risks outside the field of play.
