Faith Kipyegon has shared her main motivation as she gears up to defend her title at the Olympic Games
Star girl Faith Kipyegon has shared her main motivation as she gears up to defend her title at the Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Double world record holder Faith Kipyegon has disclosed her major targets ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
The 29-year-old has achieved great milestones during the 2023 season and will be seeking to extend her hot streak to next season.
She will be focusing on inspiring even more people with a journey that she hopes will lead to an Olympic gold medal hat-trick.
“The goal for 2024 is of course the Olympics in Paris. That is the big goal. I want to defend my title, make history, and motivate young girls and mothers out there to know that everything is possible,” Kipyegon told World Athletics.
The double World champion has achieved a lot of accolades this year, thanks to her hard work and never-ending motivation.
She started her record-breaking spree at the Diamond League Meeting in Florence, Italy, where she broke the 1500m world record before dominating in Paris, France, with the 5000m world record.
The mother of one later broke the one-mile world record at the Meeting in Monaco before bagging the 1500m and 5000m titles at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Meanwhile, her coach Patrick Sang believes Kipyegon has all it takes to conquer at next year’s Olympic Games.
“I am only happy that we have somebody continue thinking positively of our sport. Whatever the outcome of this journey, the new journey that has been revitalized, whether it goes all the way to the marathon – we will be happy.
We still want to see her more on the track and she will probably end up where that dream is: running a marathon,” Sang added.
