Faith Kipyegon competes in the elite women's 10km race at the 4th Edition of Sirikwa Classic World Cross Country Tour at Lobo Village in Kapseret, Uasin Gishu County on February 22, 2025.
She said she drew her inspiration from two-time Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge who stated that every race and every year presents a different ball game.
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.
