ATHLETICS A look into Noah Lyles "World Champion" cap that costs approximately Ksh5000
Noah Lyles is a champion when it comes to making money on and off the track.
She is gearing up for the New York City Marathon and the win is just motivation enough for her ahead of her return to the streets of the Big Apple.
The Olympic Marathon gold medallist also celebrated her birthday a few days ago and the win was a perfect way to continue with the celebrations as she turned 30.
In an interview with World Athletics, Jepchirchir said: “I wanted to win three times and make history, and thank God I have made it. It was my birthday this week and I told my husband I would work extra hard to get the win.”
Her fearsome finishing speed saw her take gold in 1:07:25 and she was closely followed home by compatriot Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi in 1:07:26, with Catherine Reline Amanang’ole completing a 1-2-3 for Kenya in 1:07:34.
