Boston, USA - Things got a whole lot easier this week for Robert Cheruiyot in his quest to be the first man to win the Boston Marathon four times since Bill Rodgers did it in 1980.
Monday’s BAA Boston Marathon is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.
On Thursday, Patrick Ivuti, Cheruiyot’s main rival, pulled out of the race after suffering from a severe bout of malaria.
