Timothy Cheruiyot overcame injury setbacks in 2024 to unexpectedly compete in multiple races, including the Paris Olympics.
Timothy Cheruiyot was not supposed to be in action the whole of 2024 due to an injury but for him, where there is a will, there is a way, and this worked perfectly for the former Olympic 1500m silver medallist.
The 2019 world 1500m champion revealed that since 2023, he has struggled with injuries and coming into 2024, he was surprised at how things turned out, for the better.

'Success is what you invest in'- Sha'Carri Richardson reflects on silver medal at Paris Olympics
Sha'Carri Richardson expressed that her definition of success remains unchanged despite coming second in the Paris Olympics.
The five-time Diamond League trophy winner started his season quite late, competing in the 800m at the Kip Keino Classic where he finished distant seventh in April.
Cheruiyot proceeded to the Diamond League Meeting in Doha where he finished second in the 1500m before third and fourth place in the 800m and 1500m respectively at the Kenyan Championships.
Shortly after, the Kenyan ace raced at the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo where he also finished second before heading to the Kenyan Olympic trials where he managed third place. He then went to Monaco where he also made it to the podium.
Cheruiyot then finished 11th at the Paris Olympic Games before maintaining the same position at the Diamond League Meeting in Zurich.
He then won the 1500m at the Grand Prix Lombardia - Brescia 2024 and then capped off his season at the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels with a second-place finish.
“This season I wasn’t supposed to run due to the injuries…both my knees were having a tendon tear so I went to the hospital for a scan and treatment and I’m happy I raced this year. I run well…I didn’t win some races but that’s okay because I was second or third. I finally made it to the Olympics too,” Timothy Cheruiyot said in an interview.

'She needed someone to match her personality' - American legend Michael Johnson praises Dennis Mitchell's role in unleashing Sha'Carri Richardson's potential
American sprint legend Michael Johnson has explained why Dennis Mitchell is the best coach to keep guiding Sha'Carri Richardson into unleashing his potential.
“I was not expecting to make it to Paris because even when I was running at the trials, I had no confidence because I knew my weaknesses, my training started later than everyone. I was happy when I got to the final list.”
He now shifts focus to the 2025 season where he has plans to compete in the 1500m at the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
Cheruiyot revealed that it might be his last time competing in the 1500m as he has plans to switch to a longer distance, the 5000m then the 10,000m and hopefully the marathon in the near future.

‘Is this real life?’ - Tara Davis-Woodhall in disbelief over husband Hunter Woodhall after admitting to being ‘reckless’ with him
Olympics long jump champion Tara Davis-Woodhall was left gushing over her Paralympics star husband Hunter Woodhall, terming him ‘perfect specimen’ in her latest post.
“Right now, I’ll be focusing on the 2025 world championships and maybe it will be my last 1500m. I need to sit down with my coach and management and plan well and select the races well where I can go to gauge myself and wait for the World Championships,” he disclosed.
“Maybe I’ll switch to the 5000m/10,000m and then later to the marathon. I hope to compete in the marathon at the LA 2028 Olympic Games. I’m yet to do road racing but next year I’m sure I’ll run a couple of races.”
Injuries have derailed the once Kenyan super star but he will not allow that anymore as he looks to bounce back stronger with the intentions of making a mark on the global stage once again.
