Faith Kipyegon snubbed as final list of nominees for 2024 World Athlete of the Year awards are announced
Faith Kipyegon will not be defending her Women's Track Athlete of the Year title despite shattering the 1500 meter World & Olympic record, as well as complete a hat-trick of Olympic gold medals in that event.
Her six-year-old daughter Alyn was thrilled by the encounter with the wild animals as her mother also tried her hand at biking.
It is a well-earned break for Kipyegon who defended her Olympics 1500m title to become the first athlete to win three straight Olympics gold medals over the distance.
She had also broken her own world record in 1,500m and left the Paris Olympics with a silver medal in 5,000m.
Kipyegon also claimed her fifth Diamond League title before she featured at the money-spinning Athlos NYC, a women’s-only track event, to complete her season in style.
The mother of one was among nominees for the World Athletics Athlete of the Year Award but she missed out from the list of finalists which had Julien Alfred from St Lucia, the Olympics 100m and 200m silver medalist.
American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the Olympics 400m hurdles and world record holder, is the other finalist for the Female Athlete of the Year Award.
