Gold medalist and rising steeplechase star Faith Cherotich is all set for stellar performances this year.
The youngster who specializes in the 3,000m steeplechase comes across as shy but is full of ambitions after she won a Diamond League trophy held in Brussels, setting her debut to the Olympics in 2024.
The 20- year- old clinched her first ever Diamond League victory in 2024 to win the women's 3,000m steeplechase where she clocked 9:02.36 setting her debut to the Olympics where she won a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics in a personal best time of 8:55.15.
At age 17, Cherotich won bronze medal at the 2021 World Athletics U20 Championships held in Nairobi and in 2022 she won gold at the World U20 Championships in Cali.
