Kipyegon for 5000 m

NAIROBI (KEN): Olympic 1500m champion Faith Kipyegon wants to step up to 5000m after the Tokyo Olympics. “My focus has now shifted and I want to compete in 5000m after the Tokyo Olympic Games. This is my dream as I seek new challenges in my career,” she said. However, she added she is unlikely to double up in championships. The Kenyan has competed just twice at distances longer than 3000m – two 5000m races in 2015, headed by a 14:31.95. From The Star.
