All eyes are on Faith Kipyegon at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Key Points: 
  • All eyes are on Faith Kipyegon at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
  • That’s because the Kenyan 1,500 metre and 5,000 metre star broke three world records in less than two months on her way to Hungary.
  • As expected, Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya are spearheading Africa’s hopes for medals, continuing their dominance in middle and distance running events.

World record spree

    • She broke the 1,500m world record in June 2023 and just a week later stunned the stadium – and herself – by smashing the 5,000m world record.
    • Her season has simply been outstanding – also smashing the world record for the mile.

Who is Faith Kipyegon?

    • Like many kids educated in rural areas, she walked and jogged many miles to and from school.
    • Little did she know that this would instil the fundamental locomotion and physical skills that would form the foundation of her athletics career.
    • This walking is enhanced by the physical education and sports activities that children engage in while in school.
    • In the words of Kipyegon, winning that race created an awareness that she could “run fast and be a good athlete”.

Well deserved victories

    • During a recent speech she broke into tears, saying:
      Now I can buy my father a car.
    • I promised him when I was going to break a world record that I’m going to buy a car for him.
    • I promised him when I was going to break a world record that I’m going to buy a car for him.
    • Gold or no gold, world records or not, Kipyegon’s story is worth telling as she heads into the finals in Hungary.
