Kipyegon, Jepchirchir feted with state commendations

The two athletes were feted during the 58th Jamhuri Day celebrations held at the iconic Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi 

Kipyegon, a mother of one, retained her Olympic title during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan.

Olympic champion Jepchirchir made history by being the first runner to win Olympic and New York Marathon titles in the same year when she fell just outside compatriot Margaayo’s course record (2:22:31 set in 2003) by just eight seconds, winning in two hours, 22 minutes and 39 seconds.
