There was no room for doubt as Faith Kipyegon solidified her legendary status and staked her claim as the greatest female 1500m runner of all time, adding to her remarkable achievements with a triumphant victory at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary on Tuesday.
Kipyegon, who holds three world records, exhibited complete control over the race’s tempo from the very beginning to the final stretch.
With her trademark devastating finishing kick, she crossed the finish line in an impressive time of 3:54.87, clinching her third global gold.
The 29-year-old Kenyan athlete has showcased exceptional form throughout this season, setting world records in not just her signature 1500m event, but also in the less common 5,000m and mile races.
Her resounding gold medal win in Budapest stands as a testament to her extraordinary abilities and unwavering dominance in the sport.
