Faith Kipyegon Wins Fourth World 1500m Title in Tokyo

Faith Kipyegon has made history at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo by winning her fourth world title in the women's 1500m with a time of 3:52.15, extending her dominance in the event. The Kenyan star, already a three-time Olympic champion and world record holder, won by a significant margin ahead of compatriot Dorcus Ewoi and Australia's Jessica Hull, who took silver and bronze respectively. Kipyegon's victory cements her status as the first woman to win four world titles in any distance-running event and ranks her among the most successful athletes in World Championships history, equaling the record of Ezekiel Kemboi. Leading a strong Kenyan team, Kipyegon emphasized discipline, teamwork, and strategy in their pursuit of a Kenyan sweep of the medals. Her ongoing four-year, 22-meet win streak in the 1500m, combined with her multiple world records, showcases her unparalleled consistency and excellence in middle-distance running. The championships continue with other finals, but Kipyegon's historic achievement remains the highlight.
