She is an icon, and she is the moment. 💅⁣ • ⁣ Kenyan superstar Faith Kipyegon broke her own 1500m world record at the Prefontaine Classic, clocking in at 3:48.68 in front of a sold-out crowd at Hayward Field. 🤯⁣ • ⁣ The three-time Olympic champion shattered her previous record of 3:49.04 set last July, making this the third time she’s set a new world record in the 1500m. 😤⁣ •⁣ “To be honest, the ladies are pushing me too because they are running quick now and I’m happy that when I broke a world record, they are all running very fast, and that is what I wanted, to motivate the younger generation to come and do even better. For them to follow me, it feels so great that they are pushing me as well to break records," Kipyegon said. 🫶⁣ • ⁣ Ethiopia’s Diribe Welteji finished second in 3:51.44, and Australia’s Jessica Hull – the Olympic silver medalist behind Kipyegon – came third in 3:52.67. 💪⁣ •⁣ What a moment for Faith. 🥺⁣ •⁣ (c/o yahoosports)⁣ •⁣ #womenssports #trackandfield #runni...
