Local rival daily, The Standard went with 'Eliud Kipchoge makes quiet entry back home' as their banner stating, "Eliud Kipchoge is back in the country after his astonishing feat in Vienna, Austria, where he completed the marathon in under two hours. Many Kenyans were eagerly waiting for a publicized return but it seems the athlete preferred to keep it low key."

Later, the online publication of the paper published another piece headlined, 'Eldoret residents demand to see Kipchoge', reporting "During an interview on KTN News (sister TV station) on Wednesday, a section of Eldoret residents demanded to see Kipchoge saying they should be allowed to celebrate their hero."

Another Kenyan newspaper, The Star, adopted a measured tone publishing, "World record holder Eliud Kipchoge is back in Eldoret, Kenya, after a good run in Vienna beating the two-hour barrierKenya Airways took to Twitter on Wednesday to express its pride in flying the marathoner to home."

His arrival, known only to his trusted inner circle, caught the waiting press unawares once again, following similar low key returns from his previous notable marathon conquests in Rio 2016 where he won the Olympic title and Berlin 2019 where he ran the 2:01:39 world record.

Those who know the 34-year-old, transitioned to the marathon after the disappointment of missing a place in the Kenyan men's 5000m and 10000m teams for the London 2017 Olympics are cognizant of the fact that despite his global superstardom, Kipchoge never veers away from his calmness, consistency, patience and discipline.
