Athletics: the curse of Eldoret, the Kenyan Kipkorir dies - Other Sports. The cross-country skier collapses after a mountain race, another loss after Kiptum and Rono.
The Kenyan federation does not mention the 'curse of Eldore' but does not hide its dismay to confirm another loss that has struck it. The athlete had completed 39 kilometers of the race, which he had led for a long time, before slowing down towards the end due to some sudden pain.
