A quintet of current world record-holders top the billing with double world record holder Faith Kipyegon being a major attraction.
Speaking to Citius Mag, Kipyegon noted that she is always inspired when she sees the 35-year-old perform even when she is pregnant and how she works hard. Rihanna unveiled her second pregnancy as she was performing during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
“I admire Rihanna a lot…when I saw her performing even with her pregnancy, it motivated me a lot. She is just proof that maternity leave should not make our decisions or desires just end up in ashes.
"Seeing Rihanna on that stage, performing really motivated me a lot. I like how she dresses up and performs. She makes other women know that we are strong,” she said, adding that she is spoilt for choice on Rihanna’s music and does not have a favourite yet.
The two-time Olympic champion added that she also wants to show other women that anything is possible. After having her daughter, Kipyegon did not give up on her career and she went ahead to achieve great feats, most of which she did not possess before.
