Kenyan middle-distance superstar Faith Kipyegon will chase two golds at next month's Paris Olympics after she added qualification for her 1500m speciality at trials in Nairobi on Saturday. The 30-year-old had bagged her ticket for the 5000m the previous day. An odds-on favourite for the 1500m, the two-time Olympic champion ran a perfect qualifier to come home in a remarkable time of 3 minutes 53:98 seconds.

Kenya's two-time Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon returned to form on Friday with a win in the women's 5000m at trials in Nairobi for the Paris Games, brushing off injuries that had sidelined her for months. It was the 30-year-old's first race of the year after pulling out of last month's Prefontaine Classic Diamond League in Oregon with a muscle injury.

Long-distance runner Beatrice Chebet of Kenya became the first woman to run the 10K in under 29 minutes —setting a new world record with a time of 28:54.14 at the 2024 Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon. 

A petition has been launched to urge Nike to redesign the Kenya Olympic kit after backlash over the design that was described as "tasteless" and "inspired by bees" by critics.

Olympic marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge has called Kenya's team kit for Tokyo 2020 "unique and awesome", despite mixed opinion from fellow sports stars in the nation.
