Faith Kipyegon cemented her place in Olympic history with a breathtaking performance in the women’s 1500m final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, clocking an astounding 3:51.29 to secure her third consecutive gold medal in the event.

Kipyegon’s victory not only shattered her own Olympic record but also made her the first athlete—male or female—to win gold in the 1500m at three different Olympic Games.

“It’s a big, big achievement,” an elated Kipyegon said after her victory. “I was really looking forward to defending my title from the last two Olympic Games, and I had a dream. It’s amazing to me—I completed it. I’m so, so happy. This is history. I managed to make history. I’ve done it. This is an amazing honor, to win the gold medal in the 1500m. It was my key target.”

The race saw an incredible level of competition, with Jessica Hull of Australia claiming the silver medal in 3:52.56, and Great Britain’s Georgia Bell taking bronze in a national record time of 3:52.61. Bell’s performance was the race of her life, and she expressed her disbelief after the event.
