Janeth Jepkosgei is the most memorable female athlete to me, she came first at the women’s 800m race in the 2006 Commonwealth Games and became the first female Kenyan middle-distance runner to win Gold in 2007 Osaka Japan.
She ran like she was floating, one second she was at the start line and in under 2 minutes she’d finished the race, this earned her the nickname “Eldoret Express.”
Girl sped so fast, she was likened to one of the fastest buses in Kenya then…perhaps that’s why seventeen years later, she’s among my favorites.
