Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon produced a trademark devastating last lap to win an unprecedented fourth world women’s 1,500 metres title in Tokyo on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old timed 3min 52.15sec for another gold to add to her incredible medal haul that guarantees her place in the pantheon of the very best middle distance runners.
Her fourth world title matched the record held by Morocco’s Hicham El Guerrouj, who won the men’s event between 1997-2003.
