The Chicago Marathon debutant expressed happiness at being able to run again having missed out on the Olympics.
"No, I was never sad because I know this is sport and anything can happen and I am happy to race again," he added, when questioned on whether he was saddened by missing out on the Olympics.
Ebenyo has revealed that he does not plan to return to track and field any time soon as he shifts his focus.
