Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Eliud Kipchoge, Men's Winner of the 2015 London Marathon:
"At about 20 kilometres, 25, the race was still undecided and at about 35 it became one of three or four people. At 38 kilometres we were two (along with Wilson Kipsang) and I was at 70-80 percent. At 40 kilometres when I took off I was 80 per cent sure of winning the race. I was 100 per cent of winning when I crossed the line!"
Question: "What did you think of running with the crowd behind you?"
Kipchoge: "The crowd here is fantastic. The people of London are wonderful. I think 20 per cent of my energy, I got from the crowd!
Question: "And you will be back next year?"
Kipchoge: "Absolutely I will be back, yes.
"I don't have a gold medal at the Olympics. I have a goal medal at the World Championships and a silver at the World Championships. I have a silver at the Olympics and a bronze at the Olympics so what lacks for me is a gold medal at the Olympics. So Rio is really ideal for me."
