Gudaf Tsegay seeks to mend ties with Kenyans after the Paris Olympics controversy, with Faith Kipyegon forgiving her and embracing sportsmanship.
Gudaf Tsegay is working around the clock to ensure she gains favour from Kenyans once again after the horrific incident that happened at the Paris Olympic Games.
The Ethiopian distance star was involved in a kind of physical altercation in the women’s 5000m that saw Kipyegon be disqualified after getting a silver medal with her medal being reinstated after an appeal was filed.
Kenya’s golden girl had been disqualified for obstructing Gudaf Tsegay but from the look of things, the Ethiopian got into Faith Kipyegon’s way.

Superwoman Faith Kipyegon shows off her traditional ugali cooking skills [VIDEO]
Faith Kipyegon showcases her cultural roots in a heartwarming video, blending tradition and modernity while preparing ugali.
In a bid to secure her spot and avoid being thrown out of the track, they got physical with Kipyegon being labelled the villain in the race contrary to the video evidence.
The incident caused a lot of uproar from Kenyan fans who most likely are yet to forgive Tsegay. However, Faith Kipyegon confirmed that she does not have anything against the Ethiopian star.
In a post on her Facebook page, expressing her eagerness to compete on Kenyan soil, Gudaf Tsegay said: “I have the honor of the Kenya people, I want compete in Kenya 1500m or 5000m 2025 or 2026.”
Kenya hosts a series of track and field events but the Kip Keino Classic would be ideal for Tsegay as there will be a lot of competition and she might have a chance to race against Kenyan stars like Kipyegon, Beatrice Chebet, Lilian Kasait and others.
The comment section was flooded with lovely comments from Kenyans who encouraged her to travel to Kenya for a competition, seemingly having buried the hatchet.
However, others did not shy away from calling her out and urged her to practice sportsmanship in every race she competed in.
To explain that she had already forgiven Tsegay, the Kenyan 1500m queen revealed that such is sports and she will not be angry at her since things do happen.
