Two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge has made the final shortlist of five for this year’s Male Athlete of the Year award.

He will however face stiff competition from fellow Olympic champions; Joshua Cheptegei (Uganda), Karsten Warlhom (Norway), Mondo Duplantis (Sweden) and Ryan Crouser (USA).

The winner of the prestigious prize will be announced during the World Athletics awards that will be held virtually on December 1
