Heat and Hills Challenge Kipchoge's Bid for Olympic History.

Eliud Kipchoge, known for his leadership in races, is now aiming to make history at the Paris Olympics.

On Saturday, the 39-year-old Kipchoge aims to be the first to win three consecutive marathon titles at the Olympics. He faces the challenge of competing against younger runners and dealing with tough weather conditions.

Last week, temperatures in Paris soared into the mid-30s Celsius. 

Kipchoge noted that the course is quite challenging, with about 40% of it being hilly, and he believes the heat will play a significant role.
