Women's 1500m Final | IAAF World Championships London 2017 

This is probably the best 1500m race I have ever seen. It was so sensational... And all because a beautiful athlete, by the name Faith Kipyegon, refused to give up. Well done Faith; you were simply amazing.

One of the best races I've ever watched. World class line-up Denzebe, Dibaba, Simpson, Semenya, Sifan, and her highness Faith Kipyegon. What a race.

The 1st time I saw Faith I fell in love with her as an athlete. She's the smallest woman in the field but she gets everything out of herself possible. What courage she displays when the race speeds up and the pressure is on. In the Olympics she made a move with a few others at the halfway mark, maintained her position in the top 3, then moved with Dibaba when she put on her typical surge. Dibaba opened a 5, then a 10 meter lead but Faith remained calm and held it together. When she caught Dibaba with about 200 meters left, the race was over at that point. It was so nice to see her alone on the lead for the entire home stretch, knowing full well for those 10 to 15 seconds that the Olympic gold medal was hers. She ran another courageous race when she battled with Hassan in a 1500M race after the Olympics. Hassan made her move early, taking the lead from Faith with a bit less then 1 lap to go. Hassan is very fast and I was hoping she couldn't break Faith with that surprise move. Faith did just as she did in this race, she maintained composure and slowly gobbled her up. Coming out of the last turn Faith just nudged into a lead but Hassan wasn't quitting either. They raced hard with Faith edging away slowly but steadily, a brilliant performance by the outstanding young lady from Kenya. If you're not yet convinced of her ability and grit, she did the same thing here once again. She puts herself in a clear position near the lead at the half and from there it's her against the others, come and get her if you can. She came through in the 2 biggest events in the world; the Olympics and the World Championship race, a double that is extremely difficult to accomplish. Still not convinced? After a 2 year maternity layoff Faith opted to get right back into the fire. She entered the Prefontaine Classic in California recently against a tough field and won the race in the fastest time ever run in the state of California at 159:2, several seconds faster then her previous wins. Faith could have chosen to enter a race that wasn't against the best for a warm up before taking on the best athletes, but she wasn't having it. She has 'Faith' in herself and she's proved time and again that she's the one to beat each time she enters a race.

I remember kipyegon when she was young when she was denied to go to a certain race, she really cried, I really felt for her

Wow, watching this in 2023 and it still makes me shed a tear. Powerful Faith!!

This girl (Faith) is extremely talented. I have watched this video countless times esp when I am facing trying moments and I just get inspired to carry on.

What a wonderful performance by Faith Kipyegon! Proud to be a Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I have watched this Race countless times. Each time i need some inspiration to carry on.. I just type Faith Kipyegon.. She gave it her all. Just when it looked like the odds were not in her favour, she hang on.. she took the bull by the horns and fought to the finish. Kudos Kipyegon

2024 and I'm still here can't get enough of this extraordinary race! Kudos to Faith Kipyegon the pride of Kenya 🇰🇪

If you're still here, the underated Faith is now the world record holder

Faith has broken multiple records, but this event is the most thrilling race I have ever watched

I never tire of watching this race someone please just give my girl Faith Kipyegon a huge hug for me❤

If you look at something 1000 times, you are in danger of discovering something new. I noted that this must be the longest sprint that i have witnessed of any women event. close to 600m sprint. Congrats Faith Kipyegon

smiling from ear to ear I’m so happy for kipyegon YASSS QUEEN

This is like a thriller movie and yet it's real. Kudos to Faith Kipyegon. I cry every time I watch this. Very Sensational.

Our Kenya athletes our pride. You do motivate me to keep pushing harder 💪

Kipyegon is a girl from my village. She's now a mother and ready to bounce back

So impressed with Faith’s composure, so calm, and Simpson too, she was good. Great race!

I'm so proud of Faith Kipyegon then and now...go gal 💪

I'm Namibian, really now we are in 2023 bt never tired to look at this wonderful race, Faith, I'm proud of you keep on , others also keep on I'm proud what you do in your life time❤❤❤

The best 1500m women ever.The collection was insane.We may never see such a field in our lifetime again.

Find myself crying ,keep the fire burning girl ,much love from Kenya

Love you our little Kenyan champion Kipyegon

Who else is watching this in 2024

I keep watching this each and every other time.. I Can't get enough of it because it's a real motivation

Finally. The most anticipated race of the championship and boy did it live up to expectations. A true classic.

Have been watching this clip more than a 100 times. Brave kipyegon our own.

How do you say a win by the olympic champion is unpredictable? Dear commentators, please give Faith the respect she deserves.

Congrats to Faith Kipyegon and the Keyan people. You have a great tradition in distance runners and should always be considered front runners to win.

Kipyegon - Beautiful elegant runner. Thank you, Faith, for making athletics enjoyable.

Wapi like za 2019🇰🇪

I love the crowd..good work faith kipyegon

I’ve been waiting for this race for 2 years

Faith Kipyegon became just the third woman in history to win the Olympic and World Championships 1500m titles ,,,,proudly Kenyan

OMG!! i cried watching this race. what a wonderful race!!!

A race I can watch a million times.

Oooh my God i leave atletics when I joined high school am regretting and crying, and we were used to meet na kina faith at tournament 😢😢😢 anyway congratulations faith 🎉🎉🎉

Faith Kipyegon not only a champion but also a very beautiful Kenyan lady.

I don't know how many times I'll watch this....i never get enough of it...Faith Kipyegon you gave it your all... congratulations queen!

I can watch this race over and over and never get tired!!! This race is a classic!!!!

Well done Faith. Btfl and tactical racing! To be Commonwealth, Olympic and World Champion at a tender age is no mean feat! Pretty accomplished athlete!

Am stuck here with tears all over ,this is just admirable

I cry everytime I watch this race raw talent and determination Faith K

Kipyegon is a star in her unique way,this was tough girls..all those ladies are a class apart,it was tough I keep on re-watching,cant get enough of f it

The Olympics and IAAF races deserve such crowds.It is no use giving countries that do not care about athletics hosting rights.

I love this race sm Sifan and Kipyegon were not giving up they were literally sprinting so fast on the last 300 omg I wish I could be at their level

Faith Kipyegon is the GOAT of 1500 meters and she finishes the race as if she needed one more lap to go. Hassan is a good competitor whom has helped her to make this being one of the most watched races. She reminds me of prime Rudisha in 800 meters. Go 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 go!!!

I love you Faith you are our own🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Faith's reactions when she wins just shows that she's not conceited and knows she can be beaten. She believes in herself but also reapects her opponents' strength and that's why she gives her all. Such class!!!

Great job my Kenyan sister 🇯🇲

I watch it again,but i shade the tears.,we have faith in you Faith.

The girl who never disappoints🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪💘💘💘💘

Never gets old. Golden.

Nice race, congratulations to Faith Kipyegon ! You are really awesome.

Dont mess with the KENYAN'S!! Love KENYA mighty athletes!

Faith Kipyegon is a new mother now. Hope she comes back with the same form and tactical intelligence.

Wow, Tunashukuru Mungu. Congratulations Faith.

When will these commentators give Kipyegon the respect she deserves

The lineup was legendary

My favourite Athlete Faith Kipyegon.I have watched this race so many times.The most competitive race of all time.

Faith Kipyegon is the Master Tactician!

The greatest field ever assembled undoubtedly not my words but the Commentator. Who won ? Faith kipyegon the most underrated Female athlete...

These girl is amazing...congratulations Faith.

The little lady from kenya did very well despite the brutal race, congrats sis.

Anyone here in 2021? I just cant get enough. I love all of africa, but my special place is kenya

Commentators at the Rio Olympics claimed that Kipyegon won the Olympic gold because of Dibaba's toe injury and not her had work. She has proved those claims wrong.

So amazing! So fast! What a win for Kenya!! Simpson almost got it her acceleration at the last second was superb

Thanks for this video. I have waited forever for it. Great race it was and Kipyegon was superb as usual. She has Big Moment Temperament and she will win again.

New mother Faith returned from maternity leave with a WIN in her first race in two years at the Prefontaine Classic on June 30th 2019. Like she'd never left.

This will be the greatest win in this discipline and will also be the greatest assemble of 1500metres athletes. Hongera #faithKipyegon 🇰🇪

God bless you Faith

Amazing race! Faith Kipyegon is even more awesome !

That was intense!!! Digging that last lap!!!

People will suffer when Kipyegon moves up to 5000M as well..Her career path will mirror Obiri's

Faith kipyegon...you never disappoint us at Nakuru county...

I have never stopped watching this nail biting race till date it makes me sit on the edge of the chair 🔥🔥

GREAT RACE. LAST 600 METERS BURST WAS FANTASTIC.

Watched it a second time to look for my fellow german, this Hanna Klein. Yes, she fought to the last meters, got Genzebe. Good job! Not a bean to get into this final at all.

10 August 2024. 3rd Olympic Gold for Faith. GOAT!!!!

i have never seen a race like this...hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.....I can watch it a million times....this is kenya's business

KENYA IS THE BEST AFRICAN COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO ATHLETES 💣💣💣

Truly! I like watching Kipyegon go. She has a beautiful running style! Smooth!

One of the best races I've ever watched well done kipyegon

Kenyans are undisputed.Kudos my lovely country.

Kipyegon was tactical and brutal both in Rio and London. Beautiful running

Big statement made here by the great Faith Kipyegon, maybe after this, the commentators will learn how to put respect to her name. Can't wait for her comeback from the maternity break.

I can't stop watching you faith kipyegon, now you broke the world record kudos gal

one of the greatest races...intense and amazing.

I am just speechless! This is women power right here- I am super proud of each and every one of this women. Simply beautiful! Amazing job, y'all.
