QUEEN FAITH! Kipyegon DESTROYS Rivals in New York – Serena Williams Crowns Kenya’s Golden Girl! (VIDEO)
Kenya’s unstoppable middle-distance superstar Faith Kipyegon has done it again — and this time she lit up New York City like a champion born for greatness! On October 10, 2025, Kipyegon stormed to victory in the Athlos NYC women’s mile, clocking a sizzling 4:17.78 — the fastest time ever run by a woman on U.S. soil!
She didn’t just win — she owned the race. Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay, her long-time rival, tried to keep up but Faith powered away, beating her by a massive two seconds. That victory wasn’t just sweet — it extended Kipyegon’s unbeaten streak over Tsegay to a jaw-dropping 19-0. Total domination!
American runner Nikki Hiltz finished third in 4:32.51, watching history being made from behind as Kipyegon soared to yet another legendary triumph.
But the night wasn’t over — the icing on the cake? None other than Serena Williams, the tennis icon herself, stepped onto the track to personally crown Faith Kipyegon in front of a roaring NYC crowd. Talk about QUEEN recognizing QUEEN!
To top it all off, Kipyegon didn’t leave empty-handed — she pocketed a massive $250,000 prize purse, including bonuses. Not bad for a night’s work!
Faith Kipyegon — record breaker, history maker, Kenya’s pride. The legend continues!
