Three-time Olympics champion Faith Kipyegon does not just bring style on the track but has drip flowing even off it.

The 30-year-old is coming off a remarkable season when she won a third straight Olympics gold medal in 1,500m as well as silver in 5,000m, the Diamond League title and the inaugural Athlos event.

However, it seems it is her third Olympics gold that stands out from her achievements going by the way she has sought to make it clear.

Multiple Olympics champion Faith Kipyegon has joined other women leaders in raising awareness and funds to help end postpartum hemorrhage.

While attending the ‘Run for her’ event to raise awareness about postpartum hemorrhage at the weekend, Kipyegon wore a jacket the brought out that message.

The jacket’s right sleeve had the message, “Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024” the years she won her three Olympics titles while the left was christened “3-peat” with the Olympics rings just below the Kenyan flag to emphasise the message.

Kipyegon is considered the greatest 1,500m runner of all time given her success over the distance that has not only yielded the three Olympics medals but as many world titles.

The mother of one is taking a well-earned rest after completing her season in style by winning the 1,500m at the women’s-only Athlos crown to walk away with the $60,000 (Ksh7.7 million) winner’s prize.

That came a week after she claimed her fifth Diamond League title with a world record also achieved this season, just before she went on to conquer at the Olympics.
