Ugandan athletics star Jacob Kiplimo has regrettably withdrawn from the upcoming Chicago Marathon, a significant blow to his racing calendar. The decision comes after the 23-year-old experienced discomfort in his hamstring during his training regimen.

Kiplimo, who was seen as a strong contender, had been diligently preparing for the event. However, the persistent hamstring issue has made it impossible for him to compete at the required level.
