The greatest 1500m athlete alive.
Congratulations.In Faith Kipyegon, the sport of track & field has one of its greatest-ever athletes operating at the peak of her powers.
With a 56-second last lap to win her fifth global 1500 title, Kipyegon's close has never been as devastating as it was Tuesday night, Faith Kipyegon was competing against the other 11 women on the start line of tonight’s World Championship 1500-meter final. But there was only ever one way this was going to go. The 29-year-old Kenyan has no peers among the current crop of female milers. Kipyegon’s winning time tonight of 3:54.87 - her third consecutive global title and fifth overall,No woman has ever had a better season in the 1500/mile than Faith Kipyegon in ,Between her incredible world records in the 1500 and mile and her dominant victory tonight, Faith Kipyegon’s 2023 season will go down as the greatest ever by a female miler. She was amazing last year as well, winning Worlds and running 3:50, 3:52, and 3:52, but the world records clinch it. The only question is whether, with a 5000 WR as well, this is the greatest season ever by any female distance runner. President William Ruto and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party led the country in celebrating Faith Kipyegon's gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
