Despite failing to finish a race for the first time in her career as an elite athlete when she dropped out of the Absa Sirikwa Classic Cross Country on Saturday, 31-year-old Faith Kipyegon has promised her fans that there is plenty more to come from her this season and beyond.

Kipyegon, who made history by completing a hat-trick of Olympic women’s 1,500m titles in Paris last year besides bagging a silver medal in 5,000m, is focused on defending her 1,500m and 5,000m world titles in Tokyo in September.
