Success comes at a huge cost that one ought to pay for.
London bound star Stephen Kiprotich is already in preparations for the summer games which are just a month.
Kiprotich, this year’s USPA February Sportsman didnot make it to Benin but has camped in Kapchorwa with the aim of gaining fitness, pace and accuracy.
The Ugandan marathoner is one of the biggest prospects ahead of the London games.
He beat Ethiopian Haile Gerbreselassie to finish third at the Tokyo Marathon early this year.
Born on February 27, 1989, Kiprotich hopes and morale to end the 16-year medal drought are booming.
At this year’s National Athletics Championships held at Makerere grounds, he won the 5000m but was beaten to the 10000m by Arua’s Solomon Mutai.
