But he has been killed, aged only 24, in a car crash in his native Kenya.
Kiptum was due to compete in the Paris Olympics later this year and would have been a favourite for a gold medal.
His rise to the peak of the sport had been incredibly fast - he only competed in his first full marathon in 2022.
