Children from rich families have better opportunities and possibilities, however, in Kenya, poverty is the reason for the development of the great number of top runners.

More quotes by Paul Tergat

Go into competition with confidence from your training.

The most important thing is not the other runners, but my own fitness. Then, everything takes cares of itself.

If someone beats me, then I am happy for him; he will have obviously worked harder for the result than I did.

My upbringing gave me a strong will, a mental aggressiveness in what I wanted to achieve.

I cannot imagine that in the future a marathon runner will run sub-2:00 as I think we have nearly reached the limit.
