Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Paris and only one signature in the 1.500 meter race, the signature of a legend.
Faith Kipjegon, the girl who is said to destroy her rivals with a smile, at the age of 30 has completed a hat-trick, won her third Olympic gold.
In addition, the phenomenal girl from Kenya set a new Olympic record - with a time of 3:51.29.
Many believed that Faith was the greatest athlete to ever run the 1.500 meters, and now it was officially confirmed when she became the only girl to reach the Olympic gold three times in this section.
After the first gold in Rio, Faith became a mother, and then she found additional strength in her daughter.
"She looks at me and wishes me the best, and then I have to do everything to make her proud," said Kipjegon.
He celebrated in Paris in front of the silver Australian Jessica Hull (3:52,56) and the bronze British Georgia Bell (3:52,61 minutes).
For Feit, this was the fourth Olympic Games, and at the first one, in London 2012, she appeared as a junior and was 16. She says that then she learned a lot...
"At that moment, I knew how much patience I would have to be, how much work and faith in myself would be needed," emphasized Kipjegon.
In addition to three Olympic gold medals, the legendary Kenyan was three times world champion in the 1.500 meters, and she also holds the world record (3:49,04) in this section, which she also set in Paris just a month ago at the World League Meeting.
