Faith Kipyegon is hoping to stay injury-free during the course of her 2025 season so that she can achieve her objectives.
Kipyegon started her season in fine fashion, when she clocked 2:29.21 at the Xiamen Diamond League on Saturday to miss the world record by fine margins, but she is not perturbed by her inability to lower the world record.
The 31-year-old wishes to stay healthy so that she can compete in all the events she has lined up and possibly break more world records.
