‘It’s no longer ours’ – Veteran Janeth Jepkosgei warns Kenya against sleeping on the job in athletics
Former world 800m champion Janeth Jepkosgei has issued a warning to Kenya not to expect it easy in athletics given the efforts rivals are putting in to end their dominance.
In an interview with Vogue Scandinavia, the two-time Olympic gold medalist shared that popping the question was the “most nervous” he’d ever been.
“I can safely say it's the most nervous I've been in my life. I had a few lines that I thought I was going to say, but I lost my words. I completely froze," Duplantis admitted.
Despite his usual poise on the world stage, he found himself overwhelmed by the gravity of the moment, revealing a different side of the composed champion.
Their love story began back in 2020, when the couple first crossed paths at a traditional Midsummer celebration in Sweden.
Duplantis was instantly captivated by the model, yet Inglander initially hesitated to pursue a relationship.
However, Duplantis' persistence eventually won her over, and the two have been inseparable since their first date.
Since then, Inglander has remained by his side, offering unwavering support throughout his record-breaking career.
The couple became a fan-favorite at this year’s Paris Olympics, when a video of Duplantis embracing Inglander after his pole vault victory went viral.
The 24-year-old, who has enjoyed a stellar 2024 season, broke his own world record three times this year, with the latest being a 6.26-meter leap at the Silesia Diamond League.

He credits her with helping him maintain focus and stability, both on and off the field, which has been key to his exceptional performances.
Now, with Inglander’s recent Instagram post hinting at wedding planning, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in their love story.
