Lilian Odira pulls off an 800m upset, completes Kenyan sweep at worlds
Heading into the last middle-distance/distance event at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, the Kenyan women had momentum on their side. They had swept all of the gold medals thus far, with Peres Jepchirchir winning the marathon, Faith Kipyegon taking the 1500m title, Faith Cherotich winning the steeplechase, and Beatrice Chebet getting wins in the 5,000m and 10,000.
They had an opportunity to complete the sweep of the gold medals, and with three of the eight 800m finalists, their odds weren’t bad. But the race had a pretty strong favorite in Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, the reigning Olympic champion who had run more than a second faster than anyone else this season, despite getting a late start due to injury.
In the qualifying rounds, Team Kenya looked good, especially Lilian Odira, who had the fastest time in both the prelims and the semifinals..
Mary Moraa, looking better than she had in months, took the final out hard, leading through 400m in a blazing 55.67. Moraa continued to lead through about 600m, with Hodgkinson right on her shoulder.
Hodgkinson made a move with about 200m to go, but she was unable to shake her M11 Track Club teammate, Georgia Hunter Bell, also of Great Britain. Meanwhile, Odira, who was only in fourth with 100m to go, was closing hard. In the final seconds, she eased past the British duo to win in a championship record and 1.9-second personal best of 1:54.62, which puts her seventh on the world all-time list.
Hunter Bell caught Hodgkinson right at the line, and edged her out for silver, 1:54.90 to 1:54.91. Hunter Bell took 1.06 seconds off of her personal best, and her decision to go all in on the 800m paid off. Hodgkinson had a really solid race, running just 0.3 seconds slower than her British record. She just didn’t make a jump like the top two did.
In fourth, Kenya’s Sarah Moraa (no relation to Mary, despite lots of reporting in the past that would suggest otherwise) also had a breakthrough performance, running a 1.79-second personal best of 1:55.74. And Sage Hurta-Klecker had a phenomenal run, PRing by 1.64 seconds to take fifth in 1:55.89. She is now third on the U.S. all-time list behind only Athing Mu and Ajee’ Wilson.
Switzerland’s Audrey Werro, who looked like a medal contender coming in, finished sixth in 1:56.17. It wasn’t a bad day for her. She was only 0.26 slower than the national record she set last month, but this field was really deep. Mary Moraa faded in the final 100m, but she still finished seventh in a season’s best of 1:57.10. And Australia’s Jessica Hull, who set an Oceanian record in her semifinal, finished eighth in 1:57.30, only 0.15 seconds off of her record.
Odira acknowledged after the race that the race was a team effort on the Kenyans’ part, and their strategy worked. I doubt anyone said, “Let’s sacrifice Mary Moraa.” But that’s kind of how it played out, and Moraa definitely helped pave the way for Odira’s win, regardless of how intentional any of it was. Moraa made it a little difficult for Hodgkinson to get by her on the final lap, which may have taken away from Hodgkinson’s closing speed.
That said, Moraa helped everyone, except maybe Hull, by taking the race out quickly. And Odira, 26, still had to run out of her mind to win. She has been on an incredible trajectory, and I’d love to know more of her story. In 2016, when she was 17, she ran a 2:04 800m at altitude. Then she did nothing at all remarkable until last year, when she ran 1:58.53. (As far as I can tell, her 800m best between 2017 and 2023 was a 2:10.) I’ve seen some people are jumping to the conclusion that she must be doping because of her rapid progress, but stories like hers aren’t unheard of. Just ask Hunter Bell. Odira clearly had talent when she was young, and there are a lot of missing details in between.
For a while, it has felt like the men’s 800m is on a new level, with so many athletes now running in the 1:41–1:42 range. It didn’t feel like the women’s 800m had experienced a similar shift, until this race. Some of that has been tactics—with athletes like Mary Moraa, Hodgkinson, and Athing Mu struggling or out this season, there have been fewer women who are willing and able keep the pace going like they can at their best.
This was a really fun final, and what a great way to wrap up the middle-distance/distance action at worlds.
Hurta-Klecker was the lone U.S. woman in the final. Roisin Willis missed advancing from the first round by 0.07 seconds, and Maggi Congdon was eliminated in the semis. Both were competing at the end of a long collegiate season, they represented the U.S. well, and this experience will help them down the line. It was a surprise to see Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma, the reigning world indoor champion in the 800m, eliminated in the semifinals as well. (800m replay | Results)
Beatrice Chebet wins clash of the titans in the 5,000m
Many of the women’s middle-distance and distance winners at the world championships were easy to predict, but the 5,000m offered a little more intrigue, with Kenyans Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet, two of the best athletes this sport has ever seen, going head to head. With Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay and Kenya’s Agnes Jebet Ngetich also in the race, the field included the four fastest 5,000m runners of all time.
It wasn’t necessarily what they planned, but Josette Andrews and Shelby Houlihan found themselves in the lead early, and they ended up controlling the race from the front. Houlihan narrowly led the way through kilometer splits of 3:17.13, 3:02.81, 2:58.72, and 2:56.85. The modest pace meant that almost the entire field was still in contention with 500m to go, but by being up front, the American duo was in a good spot when the kicking began.
As was likely to be the case no matter how the race played out, Kipyegon and Chebet made their way to the front and it came down to an all-out 100m race. Though it was nice to imagine a world in which Kipyegon could outkick Chebet, Chebet is just too good right now. She covered the final lap in 57.60 seconds, getting faster along the way. She ran her last 200m in 27.86 seconds, her last 100m 13.44, and won in 14:54.36.
Kipyegon put up a good fight and won silver in 14:55.07. Italy’s Nadia Battocletti stayed impressively close again—not a surprise after her silver medal run in the 10,000m—and earned bronze in 14:55.42.
Though Andrews expressed some disappointment that she didn’t have a better kick at the end, the race really couldn’t have gone much better for the Americans. Until Saturday, the highest finish by an American woman in the 5,000m at the world championships was Molly Huddle’s sixth-place finish in 2013. Tsegay, who held the world record in this event at the start of the season, let up a bit in the homestretch and Houlihan passed her to take fourth in 14:57.42. Tsegay held on for fifth (14:57.82), and Andrews finished sixth in 15:00.25.
They both beat Ethiopia’s Fantaye Belayneh, the Diamond League 3,000m champion, and Ngetich, who ran 14:01.29 for 5,000m earlier this season, among others. (Ngetich later indicated that she injured herself during the 10,000m.)
In the 5,000m and 10,000m, Chebet is currently unstoppable. She is now the reigning Olympic and world champion in both events. She is also the reigning world cross country champion and world road running 5K champion, and holds world records in the 5,000m and 10,000m and 5K on the roads. (5,000m highlights | Results)
Thanks to Bakline for supporting our coverage of the world championships
Watching the World Championships in Tokyo reminded us why we race at all. The performances were inspiring, but what lingers is the reminder that effort itself is worth celebrating. We may not all compete on that stage, yet each of us can be a champion of our own training, our own belief, and our own race.
Our race kits were built to encourage and enable maximum effort, no matter how fast that is. For our tops, there's the Riverside Crop (in the featured image), and the McCarren Elite singlet offers feather-light comfort and freedom to move, while the Blakeney High Rise Shorts, East River Track Shorts, or Distance Brief provides every possible pocket, and thoughtful details tested over countless miles. Our gear frees you to focus on what matters most: to finish with nothing left, like a true champion. Use fastwomen for 20% off (applicable to all cuts we offer). #shopsmall
Faith Kipyegon retains her 1500m crown, and Dorcus Ewoi surprises
It’s hard to put into words how good Faith Kipyegon is in the 1500m, but Australia’s Jessica Hull did a pretty good job of it after Tuesday’s 1500m final. “She’s so wise, and she’s raced every style of race,” Hull told reporters. “Last night, they were talking about (Soufiane) El Bakkali almost doing the Tokyo to Tokyo sweep, and Faith Kipyegon’s just done that, which is massive.”
Because the competition calendar has been condensed due to the pandemic, there have been five global championships in five years, starting with the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And Hull was referring to the fact that Kipyegon has won the 1500m at every one of them. But after Tuesday’s race, Kipyegon held up four fingers—to represent her four world championship 1500m wins, in 2017, 2022, 2023, and 2025. (She had her daughter in 2018 and returned to earn silver in the 1500m at worlds in 2019.)
“From outside looking in, you just watch Faith, and you think she does it with ease,” Hull said. “But…I see the nerves on her face, too. It doesn't come easily for her. And to have seen her do it for five championships straight, I don’t know that we’ll really appreciate that until it’s just never done again.”
As she often does, Kipyegon controlled the race from the front throughout. She went through 800m in 2:07.28 and really hammered the second half. She covered the final 800m in 2:00.53, and the last 400m in 58.72 seconds, finishing in 3:52.15. There were six or more runners still in contention at the bell: The three Kenyans—Kipyegon, Nelly Chepchirchir, and Dorcus Ewoi, Hull, Ethiopia’s Freweyni Hailu, and Nikki Hiltz. But on the backstretch, the Kenyan trio and Hull pulled away. Four runners were racing for three medals.
Hull might have had a little more left in the homestretch if she raced for second, but instead she went for the win. She stuck with Kipyegon for about 1300m, and then had to work hard to hold off Ewoi and Chepchirchir. Ewoi was in fourth until about halfway up the homestretch, when she caught Chepchirchir and then Hull and earned silver in a 4.33-second personal best of 3:54.92. Hull narrowly held off Chepchirchir to win bronze, 3:55.16 to 3:55.25.
“I have no idea where I got my power from for the final sprint,” Ewoi told reporters afterward. “But when I realized the medal was so close, I felt like I had wings.”
Hiltz went by Hailu on the homestretch and earned their highest finish in a global outdoor final, taking fifth in 3:57.08, Hailu was sixth (3:57.33), and Poland’s Klaudia Kazimierska, a new pro who was coming off the collegiate season, finished seventh in an impressive 3:57.95.
The biggest surprise of the race, by far, was Ewoi’s silver medal performance, and I don’t think it’s gotten the attention it deserves. Fans are used to seeing Kenyan athletes at the top of the results, but the fact that this particular Kenyan athlete performed as well as she did is huge.
Ewoi, 28, ran for South Plains College, in the NJCAA, from 2018 to 2020, where her 1500m best was 4:41. She then attended Campbell University from 2021 to 2023, where she improved dramatically, lowering her 800m time to 2:01.12 and her 1500m to 4:14.92. In her final college race, she finished fifth in the 800m at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Championships, and became an All-American.
It would have been very easy for Ewoi’s competitive running career to end there. After college, she didn’t have a shoe contract. She was living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, when Puma Elite coach Alistair Cragg spotted her running and invited her to train with the team. She struggled at first, but in the spring of 2024, something clicked. She lowered her 1500m time to 4:02.90, her 800m to 1:58.19, and finished second at the Fifth Avenue Mile in 4:17.3.
This year, she lowered her 1500m PR to 3:59.25, but most of her early races were on the East Coast, not against the world’s best. I don’t know if she tried, but chances are that she wasn’t fast enough to get into any Diamond League meets. That’s one of the challenges of the sport: Being in fast races helps you run faster, but it’s hard to get into those races without running times that tend to require good competition.
Ewoi was at two Diamond League races this year. She ran her 1500m PR at the Rabat Diamond League meet, but the 1500m at that meet was not a diamond discipline, which meant the field wasn’t as strong. And at the Prefontaine Classic, she served as one of the pacers in the 5,000m, where Beatrice Chebet set a world record.
Ewoi finished third in the 1500m at the Kenyan Trials in July, holding another competitor off by 0.08 seconds and qualifying for her first global championship. A medal still looked unlikely at that point, but in retrospect, between the higher level of competition at worlds and her incredible trajectory, it’s a little less surprising.
I was mostly thinking how great it was that Ewoi made it to worlds at all. It wasn’t until she finished a close second behind Kipyegon in the semifinals (it was a sweet moment) that I started to think of Ewoi as a medal threat. She reminded me of a freshman who had just gone out for the cross country team and was following the fastest runner on the team without realizing what she was doing was incredible. (Ewoi is well aware of Kipyegon’s legacy, though.)
Even Kipyegon was a little surprised by Ewoi. It wasn’t until they got to the mixed zone that she realized that Ewoi had earned silver, not bronze. It was another sweet moment. Ewoi’s career was already on a good trajectory, but this accelerates the timeline, and she shouldn’t have any trouble getting into Diamond League meets now. (For more on Ewoi, this was my favorite post-race interview that she did.)
After finishing seventh at the Olympics, finishing fifth was a nice step forward for Hiltz. “You can’t skip steps in this sport,” Hiltz told reporters afterward. “Obviously, it sucks to be that close to the medals and not get one, but it’s also a cool feeling to be disappointed in being fifth in the world. So I just think it shows how far I’ve come.” I appreciate how well they’re able to keep things in perspective. Both Kipyegon and Hiltz will race the mile at Athlos.
Sinclaire Johnson had a tough day but still ran 4:00.92 and finished 13th. (1500m replay | Results)
In steeplechase rivalry with Winfred Yavi, Faith Cherotich gets the final word this season
The final water jump proved to be pivotal in Wednesday’s steeplechase final, where race winner Faith Cherotich of Kenya passed Bahrain’s Winfred Yavi, and thanks to a fall, it’s where a three-woman race for bronze became a one-woman race.
Uganda’s Peruth Chemutai, who went in as a strong medal contender, led the race early, taking the field through 1K in 2:55.20, just off world record pace despite the steamy conditions. The pace slowed in the second kilometer, but it appeared to have taken a toll on Chemutai, who stumbled coming off a barrier with just about three laps to go, and then less than 200m later, hit a barrier, fell, and did not get up.
In the final kilometer, Yavi did what she could to shake her competitors, but she was unable to drop Cherotich. Though the two were together at the final water barrier, the race wasn’t close in the end. Cherotich powered up the homestretch and comfortably beat Yavi, 8:51.59 to 8:56.46.
Kazakhstan’s Norah Jeruto, Kenya’s Doris Lemngole, and Ethiopia’s Sembo Almayew were in a close three-way battle for bronze when Jeruto fell coming off the water barrier and Lemngole ran into her. That freed up the path for Almayeu to cruise to bronze in a personal best of 8:58.86.
One of the most impressive performances of the race came from Marwa Bouzayani, who finished fourth in a Tunisian record of 9:01.46. While many athletes were suffering in the oppressively hot conditions in Tokyo, Bouzayni, who wears a hijab and modest attire, was still able to produce her best performance ever, PRing by 3.47 seconds.
Lemngole eased up before the finish line and finished fifth in 9:02.39, and Jeruto finished sixth (9:06.34). The field splintered in half right from the start, and Germany’s Gesa Krause was the top finisher from the second pack, taking seventh in 9:14.27. NC State junior Angelina Napoleon led the Americans, finishing ninth in 9:17.44, Kaylee Mitchell was 10th (9:18.66), and Lexy Halladay-Lowry was 14th (9:34.03).
This race had a very young podium; Cherotich is 21, Yavi is 25, and Almayew is 20. Yavi, the reigning Olympic champion who won her last race against Cherotich, went in as a slight favorite, but it was no surprise to see Cherotich, a rising star and Olympic bronze medalist, get the edge this time.
It’s impossible to tell whether Lemngole, the reigning NCAA steeplechase for Alabama, would have earned a medal or not, but it was unfortunate to see her lose her shot at one due to Jeruto’s fall. She has indicated that she will be running cross country this fall, as is Napoleon. That will be fun, but I also hope they both get a break at some point.
The three Americans ran really well to make the final, and they gained valuable experience. Napoleon teared up as she talked about what it meant to her to be the top American, as she should. It’s still hard to believe that she began the year as a 9:54 steeplechaser. (Steeplechase replay | Results)
Other notes from the world championships
In the semifinals of the 400m, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke Sanya Richards-Ross’ American record in the 400m, which was exactly 19 years old, running 48.29, and she made it look easy. Running in rainy conditions, McLaughlin-Levrone lowered it further in the final, winning in an incredible 47.78 seconds. The best part was that Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic was hot on her heels, running 47.98. They moved to second and third on the world all-time list behind only Germany’s Marita Koch, who ran 47.60 in 1985. Though she was never sanctioned, there have long been rumors that that mark was assisted by state-sponsored doping. (Race replay)
The images of Beatrice Chebet crying as she watched Faith Kipyegon win the 1500m were very touching.
The Kenyan women were phenomenal at worlds, but many people, myself included, would feel better about that if Kenya didn’t also have a serious doping problem. There’s no evidence that any of Kenya’s medalists are doping, and it frustrates me when people assume that all Kenyans are doping. But the actions of others certainly cast some additional doubt. That said, we never know about anyone, regardless of their nationality. And it’s certainly not ideal for the U.S. that our top distance runner on the track right now has just returned from a four-year doping ban.
The current NIL and NCAA landscape tends to reward athletes who are good when they are young. And that’s more complicated for women, who often don’t progress on a smooth trajectory, especially during their high school and college years. Many of the top performers at worlds have been among the best of the best their entire careers. But I loved seeing athletes like Uruguay’s Julia Paternain (a 16:00 5,000m runner in college), Dorcus Ewoi (as mentioned, a 2:01 800m runner in college), Georgia Hunter Bell (a star when she was young but only a 4:18.89 1500m runner at Cal), and Susanna Sullivan (a 16:56.23 5,000m runner at Notre Dame) run well in Tokyo. None of them got shoe contracts right out of college. I’m all for paying the young stars well, but there needs to continue to be support for athletes who need more time to run their best. And the NCAA system doesn’t make it easy to assess who might be good at the marathon down the line.
Last year, when I wrote about Susanna Sullivan, she told me that when college athletes tell her coach, Andrew Gerard, that a race didn’t play out the way they wanted, he’ll say to them, “Were you not in the race? If you wanted it to go a certain way, you had some responsibility in that.” I’ve thought of that often since then, especially during worlds, when taking some of the responsibility worked out well for Sullivan, Shelby Houlihan, and Josette Andrews.
It definitely seems like the fatigue of five back-to-back championship years has caught up to many athletes. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that other than Nikki Hiltz, the U.S.’s top middle-distance/distance performances came from athletes who weren’t at the Olympics last year.
It’s hard to compare directly because more athletes prioritize the Olympics, but in many areas, the U.S. middle-distance and distance athletes had a better showing at worlds than they did at last year’s Olympic Games. In Paris, the highest U.S. finishers placed seventh (Hiltz in the 1500m and Juliette Whittaker in the 800m). This time out, U.S. athletes earned two fourths (Susanna Sullivan and Shelby Houlihan) and two fifths (Hiltz and Sage Hurta-Klecker).
Other News
The AIU published more details about what led to Diribe Welteji of Ethiopia being provisionally suspended in advance of the world championships. Her husband told the person who came to test her that she would not be providing a sample because the tester arrived outside of her designated testing window. The tester said that she then appeared and agreed that she would not provide a sample. World Athletics is not buying the argument that she didn’t know she could be tested outside of her designated window, because out of the 21 times she has been tested out of competition since 2023, 14 of those have happened outside of her designated window.
I appreciated this piece about sex testing in track & field from Australia’s Catriona Bisset. “So basically, we’ve been told: this test could change your life, so therefore it’s not mandatory and you should make an informed choice!” she writes. “But remember, if you refuse, your career in athletics is over. Hope that helps!”
Kansas Relays, which have been around for 102 years, will not take place in the spring of 2026 “as part of a broader effort to reduce expenses for the athletic department.” The school’s athletic director acknowledged that the change is related to the new expenses the school has due to the House settlement. I expect this is just one of many changes we’ll see going forward.
Last week, I missed the fact that Keira D’Amato’s 1:09:07 half marathon in Copenhagen was an American masters record. She took 29 seconds off of Deena Kastor’s mark from 2014.
I appreciated learning more about Sara Van Dyke in this piece from Jinghuan Liu Tervalon. Van Dyke, 31, who is a chiropractor by day, didn’t decide to try the steeplechase for the first time until after she turned 30. She watched YouTube videos to learn the proper hurdle technique and got her time down to 10:02.61, which qualified her to compete at the USATF Outdoor Championships this year.

Kenya’s Rosemary Wanjiru led the Berlin Marathon by 53 seconds at 35K, but with the temperature around 79 degrees, she slowed significantly at the end and just managed to hold off Ethiopia’s Dera Dida by three seconds, 2:21:05 to 2:21:08. The conditions took a toll on everyone, and Wanjiru was unable to do a post-race interview on the broadcast because she was receiving medical attention. This was one of the first big weekends for athletes to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, and no American women pulled it off. Katja Goldring came close, finishing 21st in 2:37:37. (I’ve seen several, “At least I beat Harry Styles” posts. He ran 2:59:13.) Climate change is only going to continue to make it tougher for athletes to choose their races right, weather-wise, and hit goal times. And yes, the coverage of the women’s race in Berlin is still not good. (Results)

Podcast Highlights
Susanna Sullivan, Jess McClain, and Erika Kemp were great on Nobody Asked Us. I really appreciated Kemp’s reasons for staying in the race when the day was not going well. “It’s not fun to fail publicly,” she said. “But it’s also very human.” Kemp said she did not follow her coach’s instructions well, and she’s very sensitive to heat, so once she crossed a certain threshold early in the race, it was hard to come back. Many people talk about the logistical challenges that sometimes surround major international meets, and I appreciated hearing some of the specifics here, like Sullivan finding a place to swim and finding things to eat when she has a shellfish allergy. It’s not easy to recap the whole conversation, but I thought this was a really good one. The three Brooks athletes were also on Hurdle last week, and Sullivan and McClain were on The Citius Mag Podcast
I enjoyed learning more about Uruguay’s Julia Paternain on The Citius Mag Podcast, and hopefully we’ll hear more from her in the coming weeks. (Though it sounds like she’s having three wisdom teeth removed this week—back to reality—so maybe not right away.) It was interesting to hear that for a while, she thought she might want to become an agent, and she decided she wanted to keep running whether she had a contract or not. She was also on the Paula’s Run Club podcast.
Sofia Camacho was good on NYRR’s Set the Pace podcast, and I appreciate that despite all of the terrible things currently happening in this country, NYRR has continued to use their platform to amplify trans athletes’ voices.

You can probably tell by the length of this newsletter, but I am feeling much, much better this week. I’ve never been so thankful for how well my brain is working. Thanks to everyone who reached out and asked if I had considered that my poor brain function could be a symptom of perimenopause. I had indeed considered it, and after increasing the dose of my estrogen patch last Sunday, I felt noticeably better about 3.5 days later.
Normally I wouldn’t share something this personal, but I figure only about three of you have made it this far in this very long newsletter 😀 Also, I’m part of the nobody-warned-us generation when it comes to things like periods, pregnancy, and menopause, and I’m glad so many more people are talking about various aspects of those things now. I had no idea the cognitive symptoms could be so severe—that was wild. But I’m sharing this in case it helps anyone else down the line.
Thanks again to Bakline for supporting Fast Women this month and remember to use the code fastwomen for 20 percent off! And thank you, also, to all of you who help keep this newsletter going with your support via Venmo and Patreon. I couldn’t do this without you!
I hope you all have the best week possible.

Alison, I am so thankful that you had some women suggest that the brain fog could be related to perimenopause and that you acted on that information. Women supporting women in yet another way. Thank you, again, for a great newsletter. I was traveling so only catching bits and pieces of the events in Tokyo.
At least 7 read to the end! Thank you for another fabulous read!
