During the mentorship session, Kipchoge shared his personal journey, emphasizing the importance of self-discipline, perseverance, and education.

He encouraged the athletes to believe in themselves and their abilities, regardless of their past experiences.

“Being a refugee is not the end of life; it’s the beginning,” Kipchoge told the athletes. “You have a lot of opportunities ahead of you. Don’t treat yourself less because you are refugees. We are all equal as human beings.”

The refugee athletes, who have fled conflict and violence in their home countries, were deeply inspired by Kipchoge’s words.

They expressed admiration for his achievements and his commitment to helping others.

“Meeting Kipchoge was a dream come true,” said Peter Lopeyok Michael, one of the athletes. “He is a very good person who encourages us to strive for greatness.”

Kipchoge’s mentorship session focused on empowering the athletes and providing them with the tools they need to succeed both in athletics and in life.

He stressed the importance of education and emphasized the role that sport can play in building confidence and resilience.

“I want to inspire these young athletes to pursue their dreams and achieve great things,” Kipchoge said. “The Refugee Team has a bright future, and I am confident that they will continue to make a positive impact on the world.”

The mentorship session was a significant event for the World Athletics Athlete Refugee Team, which provides a platform for displaced athletes to compete at the highest level.
