Faith Kipyegon, Hellen Obiri, Conseslus Kipruto and Elijah Manangoi, all won their respective races to end a 2017 season which has been excellent for all of them. In the end, Obiri, Kipruto and Kipyegon ended up as overall Diamond league winners in their respective events.<\/p>\n<h2>Kipyegon Battle Sifan Hassan<\/h2>\n<p>Of all these athletes, Faith Kipyegon is the one who faced the strongest challenge. The challenge came in the form of Sifan Hassan. The\u00a0Dutch woman\u00a0 has the fastest 1500m time of the 2017 season, while Kipyegon is the defending world and Olympic champion. It was bound to be a epic battl. Hassan and Kipyegon went neck and neck from the bell all the way until there were 30 metres left when Kipyegon found another gear which enabled her to edge past Hassan. Another Kenyan, Winny Chebet, who is normally an 800m specialist, finished third.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/athletics\/images\/faith-ivo-17.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Race Results<\/h3>\n<table class=\"records-table clickable\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"8%\">POS<\/th>\n<th width=\"7%\">BIB<\/th>\n<th width=\"40%\">ATHLETE<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">COUNTRY<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">MARK<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Faith Chepngetich <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Kipyegon<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">3:57.04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Sifan <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Hassan<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0NED<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">3:57.22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Winny <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Chebet<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:00.18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Gudaf <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Tsegay<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0ETH<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:00.36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Meraf <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Bahta<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0SWE<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:00.49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Jennifer <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Simpson<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:00.70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Laura <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Weightman<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0GBR<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:00.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Angelika <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Cichocka<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0POL<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:02.77<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Besu <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Sado<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0ETH<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:03.83<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Rababe <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Arafi<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0MAR<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:07.22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Malika <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Akkaoui<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0MAR<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">4:10.76<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h3>Race Video<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R94ej2GVnkk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<h2>Conseslus Kipruto in last gasp win<\/h2>\n<p>In the mens 3000m steeplechase, world champion Conseslus Kipruto left it until the last 10 metres to win the race.
