Kenyan steeplechaser Kibiwot aims higher after breakthrough Olympic bronze
Abraham Kibiwot of Kenya celebrates after winning bronze in the men’s 3,00m Steeplechase final during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games at the Stade de France on August 7, 2024.
Father of three will use Saturday’s event to warm up for the Diamond League, Kip Keino Classic and World Championships.
Last year was nothing short of remarkable for Abraham Kibiwot, both on and off the track. The 29-year-old clinched a bronze medal for Kenya in the men’s 3,000m steeplechase final at the Paris Olympic Games—his biggest career achievement to date.
But his joy wasn’t limited to the track. Just six days before the final at the Stade de France, Kibiwot’s wife gave birth to their daughter, Angel Keyla Chemutai Biwot, their third child after two boys. The timing was so special that he even considered adding ‘Paris’ to her name as a tribute.
