| Kipruto Looking Strong for Rotterdam |
|  By Universal Sports -
Vincent Kipruto is in reality the biggest rival of James Kwambai's, who is the favorite to win the 30th Fortis Marathon Rotterdam on Sunday April 11. The Kenyan won Paris last year in 2.05.47 and would very much like to conquer the Coolsingel.
Everything is pointing to the 22-year old Kipruto excelling himself in the coming month. "2.05 in Paris, on a slower course and a weaker participants field, is worth 2.04 in Rotterdam," says marathon-director Mario Kadiks. "We always look at the athletes' potential." |
