ATHLETICS Ferdinand Omanyala dares Faith Kipyegon to a 400m race, confident of beating her
Kipyegon is undoubtedly the greatest 1500m runner of all time having won two Olympic medals, and four world championships.
After her loss in Florence, it has been winning all through and she has also upset some of the greatest athletes who are experts in the race. Yavi won the Arab Games Algiers 2023 before reigning supreme at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
She had handed world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech her first loss of the season in Doha but it was not as close as their battle at the Hungarian capital.

The amount of money Omanyala will earn for matching Noah Lyles' 9.85s at Prefontaine Classic
Omanyala has earned good money from the Diamond League Meetings with his podium finishes and the Prefontaine Classic also offered him more money thanks to his hard work.
In Doha, Chepkoech finished fourth but at the World Championships, she was forced to finish second after Yavi proved to be a tough nut to crack.
The duo was in action at the Diamond League Meeting in Zurich and Yavi was the one who took the win ahead of Chepkoech who finished second one more time.
At the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday night, Yavi also fought hard for a win over Chepkoech. She clocked a meeting record time of 8:50.66 to cross the line ahead of Chepkoech and she has attested that beating the Kenyan gives her more assurance that she is on the right track as far as the world record is concerned.
“It gives me more power like I can do better than this. To see the world record holder behind me I feel like I can even do the same thing like her,” she said in a post-race interview.
