Team Kenya athletes let loose following the gruelling competition at the Olympics, showing their other talents besides running.

Double Paris Olympics medallists Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon displayed another of their talents as they sang and danced to celebrate their success in the French capital.

Team Kenya athletes went out to celebrate their win after the closing ceremony and the two were among those who let loose following the grueling near three-week of competition in Paris.

The athletes went out at a park in Paris where they mingled with fans and there was plenty of music to dance to, the stars showing another side that fans do not get to see.

It was a great outing for both Chebet and Kipyegon as they each won two medals in Paris.

Chebet claimed gold in both 5,000m and 10,000m while Kipyegon retained her 1,500m title, becoming the first woman to win three straight Olympics gold medals over the distance, that coming after silver medal in 5,000m.

There was also some outstanding performances in Paris such as youngster Emmanuel Wanyonyi who ensured the country retained its 800m title after fending off the challenge of world champion Marco Arop.

Team Kenya completed the Olympics with 11 medals, four gold, two silver and five bronze, an improvement from Tokyo 2020 where they managed 10.

The athletes will be feted once they return to the country with gold medallists taking home Ksh3 million, silver Ksh2 million and Ksh1 million for those who won bronze.
