Like her or hate her, Faith Kipyegon has officially cemented her status as one of the Greatest athletes of all time.
The mother of one is not only a triple 1500m Olympic champion, but also the face of athletics throughout the world.
No woman athlete has so far achieved what the multiple world record holder has done in a single track event. She is literally nobody’s match in middle distance race.
From winning World and Olympic titles for fun, and setting world records, the 30-year-old Kipyegon, who caught the world’s attention running barefoot to finish fourth at the 2010 World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, seems to be in just a class of her own.
