Kipchoge personally expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, noting, “I am excited to partner with the world’s pioneers in terms of innovation and technology. Being environmentally protective, the Phantom series devices are made from recyclable materials, which makes the partnership valuable and, most importantly, helps protect the next generation.”

The synergy between Kipchoge and TECNO Mobile is not merely about branding but about a mutual vision of pushing limits and achieving greatness.

As Fang emphasised, “It’s about celebrating a shared vision of excellence and pushing boundaries. It’s about taking steps forward, just like Kipchoge has done in every race, inspiring millions around the globe.”

Kipchoge’s recent victory at the 2023 Berlin Marathon, where he became the first athlete to secure five wins in the event, further solidifies his unmatched legacy.

As Kipchoge prepares for Paris, the world holds its breath, knowing that with his third Olympic gold medal within reach, his legacy as the greatest marathoner of all time is already assured.

“With his third Olympic gold medal on the horizon, Kipchoge's legacy as the world's greatest marathoner is undeniable,” Fang affirmed.
