ATHLETICS: The millions 23-year-old Mary Moraa will bag after winning gold in Budapest
Moraa went into the race unbeaten so far this season and Kenyans had hope that she would deliver the third gold medal.
With her dominant achievement in the women’s 800m, Moraa became the third Kenyan woman to win the world title. The first woman to win the world title was Janeth Jepkosgei who won it during the 2007 World Championships.
Eunice Sum followed later by winning the title during the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russia.
In a long post on her Facebook page, she expressed gratitude to her husband Arap Chemereng Gege among others.
The post read: “I am simply lost for words. God has been merciful. Achieving three precious titles at the Commonwealth Games, Diamond League, and World Athletics Championships within a year is a blessing that I don't take for granted.
