“It is a difficult time for me,” he admitted after dropping out just after the 30km mark after an hour and 40 seconds of running, with a discomfort around his waist.
"This is my worst marathon. I have never done a DNF (did not finish). That’s life. Like a boxer, I have been knocked down, I have won, I have come second, eighth, 10th, fifth – now I did not finish. That’s life."
“You will see me in a different way, maybe giving motivation, but I will not run," he said.
