Marco Arop catapulted himself to new heights, and just in time heading into an Olympic year.
“I think it went amazing in terms of doing things I’ve never done before or that just haven’t been done,” Arop said of his season. “Being the first Canadian 800-metre gold medalist, that’s something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life and, national record holder.However, he isn’t shocked by his success. It’s something he expected.
With all he accomplished in 2023, there is plenty of momentum looking ahead to the Paris 2024 Olympics. As long as he remains healthy, Arop is confident he’ll have a great 2024 season. “The goal for me is not necessarily to have one great season or just become a world champion once, I wanna be able to do this for an extended period of time,” he said. “Getting to the top was one thing but now staying at the top will be another challenge in itself.
