Kipyegon Wins Fourth World 1,500m Title in Tokyo

Faith Kipyegon, a Kenyan runner, won her fourth world championship in the 1,500-meter race in Tokyo.

This victory ties a record previously held by a male runner.

Kipyegon finished in approximately 3 minutes and 52 seconds.

Her teammate, Dorcus Ewoi, took the silver medal, and Jessica Hull of Australia won the bronze.

Kipyegon said this win in Tokyo felt special because she had won the Olympics there previously, shortly after becoming a mother.

She now aims for a second successive World double in the 5000m.
