The little girl was present during her doting mother’s live TV interview as she sat peacefully beside her.
She listened to her mother who was delighted to be on air, as she expressed her amazing feeling after clinching a gold and silver medal in the Olympics.
“It’s by God’s grace to have just won my third gold medal in the Olympics. That was special, especially with the next generation. I think I have inspired many,” she happily said.
How many gold medals did Kenya bag in Paris Olympics?
Kipyegon, who bagged Kenya’s fourth gold medal at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, donned a jacket and cap branded Kenya.
She could not hide her smile as she recalled the tough competition in France, where she performed admirably well.
Her daughter gave her a peaceful time as she kept throwing glances at her mum, who made Kenya proud. When asked to wave at the camera, the little girl did not shy away; she humbly obeyed her mother.
“Say hi, mama,” Kipyegon lovingly requested her daughter, who did so with enthusiasm and a smile. In an earlier post on her social media pages, Kipyegon described her daughter as her source of motivation.
“My daughter is a great source of my motivation. On many occasions when I fall short of coming first, she calls to ask why I never win. I’m really motivated by that,” he posted on X.
