Kipyegon is undoubtedly the greatest 1500m runner of all time having won two Olympic medals, and four world championships.
In a post on her Facebook page, the 23-year-old explained what cost her victory at the event, “Not how I wanted to end the season. Felt unwell on the eve of the race but was glad to finish fourth 1:57.42 during the Wanda Diamond League final in the Prefontaine Classic. I take a break to reflect on a rather excellent 2023 season.”
She added that she was happy for her opponents for taking the win but she promised to bounce back better and also extended a hand of gratitude to her coach and her mentors, Hellen Obiri and Beatrice Chepkoech.
“I am happy for my competitors Athing Mu and Hodgkinson. I’m happy with how my season has turned out well…I started with the indoor tour but I was not in top form but I worked hard and got a gold medal in Budapest,” she said.
