Three-time world 1,500-meter champion Faith Kipyegon continues to bask in the glory of her athletic achievements, now with a dose of humor that has charmed many.
Fresh off winning her third gold medal in the women’s 1,500m final at the Paris Olympics, Kipyegon had a light-hearted interaction with CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo. In a playful moment that showcased her cheerful personality, Kipyegon handed Madowo one of her gold medals and jested, "Shika hiyo, utawin one day" — translating to "Hold this, you'll win one day."
The CNN journalist took to social media to share the amusing encounter, captioning his post with: "Who knew 🐐 Faith Kipyegon is this savage? 'Shika hiyo, utawin one day,' she casually told me."
The post quickly garnered a range of reactions from netizens. Read some of them below:
