Faith Kipyegon was left delighted when she was received in a special way during an engagement with one of her sponsors in Portland, Oregon.
Three-time Olympics champion Faith Kipyegon had a wholesome moment in Portland, Oregon when she was celebrated for her track success in a special way.
Kipyegon made her way to a Nike women event in Portland where she received a standing ovation as she walked into the room to address the gathering.
She would later meet girls whom she gave some motivating talk during her engagement with her sponsors.
Kipyegon is among top athletes endorsed by Nike and has represented the brand in a great way given her dominant performances on the track.
The 30-year-old is just fresh from claiming victory in the 1,500m at the inaugural Athlos NYC, a women’s-only track event, which attracted 36 athletes in New York last week.
That was just over a week since claiming her fifth Diamond League trophy at the season-finale in Brussels last month.

It has been yet another season of greatness for Kipyegon who started her international assignment by breaking her own 1,500m world record at the Paris Diamond League in July before she returned to the French capital to claim gold over the distance and silver in 1,500m at the Olympics.
Kipyegon is one of the most recognizable athletes in the globe and her appearance in Portland drew interest from fans who wanted to meet her and listen to her words of motivation.
She will look forward to a well-earned holiday after her engagements in the United States as she plots more success in 2025 where the World Championships in Tokyo will be her main focus.
