Kipchoge is an easy candidate for World's Nicest Guy. This is the same dude who consistently treats strangers like his best friends, invites anyone and everyone to come train with him, and who smiled politely when Galen Rupp repeatedly crowded him and clipped his heels in Tokyo.
One thing that I have noticed as I have gotten older is that genuinely super nice people attract a lot of haters. In a world where behaving like an elementary school bully has become fashionable, I am hardly surprised that Kipchoge is coming under fire for no reason.
Stop with the nice guy nonsense. Was it “nice” when he a used super shoe tech advantage to win the 2016 Olympic marathon?
Was it “nice” when he ran that unsanctioned sub 2 just to say he was the first one to do it, even though it was illegitimate?
Was it “nice” when he refused to publicly congratulate Kiptum for breaking his marathon world record?
