How Faith Kipyegon made history tokyo
Kipyegon entered the 2025 World Cup after setting a world record in the 1500 -meter race and recorded the fastest ever to the woman, though it has not yet been official.
Without failure for a four -year distance, it seemed inevitable that there would be only one consequence.
He cut the ribbon on the time of 3: 52.15, in front of his colleague Dorcus Ewoi, who finished second in 3 minutes: 54.92 better. Australian athlete Jessica Hull picked Kenya’s Nelly Chepchirchir and took a bronze medal.
“This game is pushing me. I won here 2021 (at the Olympics) after being a mother, so back here, winning again, it means I can show a new gold medal for my daughter.
Kipyegon has now won four of the last five tournaments in the international championship and is one of the few Kenyans who won the four world titles.
How much money will Faith Kipyegon earn?
Kipyegon will receive gift money from the Kenyan government and the global athletic organization.
Kenya will win the winners of the KSh 3 million gold medals, the winners of the KSh 2 million silver medals, and the winners of the KSh 1 million.
The World Athletics Corporation will honor the winners of the $ 70,000 gold medals (KSh 9 million), $ 35,000 silver medal winners (Ksh 4.5 million), and bronze winners $ 22,000 (Ksh 2.9 million).

Any athlete who breaks the world record will receive a $ 100,000 bonus (Ksh 13 million). Mondo Duplantis will put KSh 22 million pocket by winning gold and breaking the world record in the rotating sticks.
As such, Kipyegon is expected to put in a pocket near KSh 12 million to get his gold medal. He can double that to Ksh 24 million if he wins 5000 meters of gold, but he will have to face Beatrice Chebet to win the title.
