Thousands of personnel deployed to clear accumulated water, clogged drains, and fallen trees
The two were due to compete on Sunday in London marathon (April 26), but the race, like many across the globe, has been postponed.
Organisers have picked on October 4 as the new dates if the health situation allows, reports Xinhua news agency. Cheruiyot, who has recovered from a tendon injury, which ruled her out of the Berlin marathon last year, says despite there being no competition across the sports spectrum, she was happy to be healthy and said she will live to compete again soon.
"Today, there will be no London marathon, but we will be back in action soon. Stay positive and stay healthy," said Cheruiyot on Sunday from Eldoret.
On his side, Kipchoge, who is unable to train with his teammates, says the virus will be defeated and sports will flourish yet again.
"We will return to action stronger and with a lot of hope," he said.
"The important thing is to remain focused and disciplined. We have a war to fight against the coronavirus, but we have a responsibility to remain healthy and safe."
The two were also named in the Kenya team for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics before it was pushed back to 2021. But with no guarantees, Cheruiyot hopes to remain injury free and will always honour a call to represent the country in the Olympics.
"One year is a long time and we want to be in our best shape and compete. But we will be patient and see how the season unfolds. The important thing for now is to remain safe, there are no immediate plans on sports and we have to live with that. Until then, we just train as often as we can under the health guidelines."
