Kenya's Kipyegon wins women's 1500 metres gold
The Peninsula
TOKYO: Kenya's Faith Kipyegon retained her Olympic title in the women's 1,500 metres at the Olympic Stadium on Friday, breaking the Olympic record as she denied Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan her dream of winning an unprecedented Olympic treble.
Hassan had to settle for bronze as Britain's Laura Muir took silver. It was a fast race as Hassan quickly moved to the front with Kipyegon right behind her. But the Kenyan accelerated to grab the lead on the last lap and won with a time of 3:53.11.More Related News
