Faith Kipyegon the maestro - Wins her 7th global 1500 title in 3:52.15 with a 2:00.53 final 800!

The GOAT of middle distance running.

Once again proving that if you're the best, just go out there and set a pace that the rest can't live with.

Jakob could never.

Do we all think she could win the 800 also, if she entered?

Did what Jakob always tried to do. But she’s 2+ seconds ahead while he isn’t

I have to give credit to Hull for actually trying to win, which I think cost her a silver medal.

But, what a strange (unintentional?) move she made with about six or seven strides left to the line, moving half a lane to her right after being passed. She should have been closing down the rail if she felt Chepchirchir coming on her left. Instead, she made a very exaggerated move to the right.

Maybe it was just her body starting to fall apart as she prepared to lean at the line?

Watch the overhead view starting at 5:19 in this video:

Unfortunately, as brilliant as she is she may soon be the last Kenyan standing, given the rate of their violations.

I count just one time where Ingebrigtsen tried to win, wire to wire.

Am I misremembering the Wightman, Kerr and Hocker Golds? I thought Jakob led most if not all of the first 1400M.

Edit: Faith is unreal. That tactic works when you are a couple seconds better than the field.

yawn, obvious doper as are all kenyans #bankenya

100 Percent Agree. So many people here rip on Cole, Jakob, etc. for perceived doping. Yet, a whole country that has proven issue in their anti doping is celebrated. Next to no doping controls in Kenya.....and they go 1-2. Nice job celebrating a country that supports dopers like Russia, China, and the old East Germany. Nice

Of course I was referring to the Paris 1500m. Against Whitman he took the lead at 500m and 600m against Kerr.

He’s never tried to do that. What she ran would be like him going 58, 58, 54, 39

Instead he goes 55, 57, 56, 40

Does anyone else in the history of track and field have seven global titles in the same event?

Bubka for pole vaulting has 7 global golds and 11 global golds if you count his 4 indoor titles as well.

Doped to the gils it's amazing you idiots fall for it every time

In all fairness there are more global titles at play since the changed WC to every four years instead of two, and before 1983 there was only the Olympics.

I think Edwin Moses could have made seven in the hurdles. Maybe Carl Lewis in the Long Jump. Sergie Bubka in the PV (and Mondo is already up to 5, or 8 if you count indoor World titles). Usain Bolt made 6 and it would have been 7 not for that one false start in one final. Pavoo Nurmi back in the day not to forget of course, he was so ahead of his time that he ran a solo WR just in spite when he was left of the Olympic team for having already won too many medals and the Finn Team wanted to let new guys in on the action.

Once you reach a certain level you're untouchable by AIU. That's where FK is now.

I've said this before but I think Kipyegon and Chebet could 1-2 in every WR from 800 to half marathon. The perks of being a protected athlete.

He can't run a 3:52 1500?
