Kipyegon made history at the Paris Games when she became the first woman to win three consecutive Olympic 1,500m gold medals, crossing the line in a new Olympic record of 3min 51.29sec. “Those conmen of Eldoret who made this statue of #FaithKipyegon should be taken to court with an immediate effect,” said former cabinet minister Moses Kuria.
Another similarly amateurish statue — now also taken down — was said to be of marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, whose hopes of winning a historic third straight gold in Paris were dashed when he pulled up about 30 kilometres into the race.
