On September 17th, 2025, the world witnessed history at Tokyo’s National Stadium. Faith Cherotich, a 21-year-old from Kenya, stunned the world by running the fastest steeplechase time ever seen at a World Championships 8:51. Against unbearable heat and a stacked field that included Olympic and world champions, Cherotich stayed calm, calculated, and absolutely fearless.
This is the story of how Kenya’s Last Born became a world champion. From her humble beginnings and early bronzes to Diamond League domination and her record-breaking run in Tokyo, Cherotich’s journey is one of talent, patience, and pure mental strength. Guided by her coaches Piet de Peuter and Bernard Rono, and inspired by her hero Faith Kipyegon, she’s redefining what young athletes can achieve.
