Kenya's track sensation Faith Kipyegon is contemplating a major shift in her career as she strongly hinted at transitioning from her highly successful 1500-meter specialty to the more challenging 10,000-metre race.
Regarded as one of the greatest middle-distance runners of all time, Kipyegon's legacy particularly in the 1500-metre races has already been sealed, with the 2024 season being her best yet on the tracks.
Not only did she secure her third consecutive Olympic 1500m gold in 3:51:29 at the Paris Olympics, Kipyegon also tested her mettle in the longer 5,000m event, where she remarkably won silver in 14:29.60.
The beloved runner admitted that despite her impressive feats, balancing 1500m and 5000m is not an easy task.
