Uasin Gishu Woman representative Gladys Boss Shollei hosted 2023 Boston Marathon winner Hellen Obiri at her Kitisuru home.
She says Obiri represents the strength of a woman.
“Today I was humbled to host my HERO Hellen Obiri for breakfast at my Kitisuru home. To me she represents the strength of a woman,” she wrote.
Obiri triumphed in the 2023 Boston Marathon, her second marathon race.
“She is the only woman to have won world titles in indoor track, outdoor track and cross country. Obiri is a two-time Olympic 5000 metres silver medallist from the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics,” she added.
She is a two-time world champion after winning the 5000 m in 2017 and again in 2019, when she set a new championship record.
“Obiri also took world bronze for the 1500 metres in 2013 and silver in the 10,000 m in 2022. She won the 3000 metres race at the 2012 World Indoor Championships, claimed silver in 2014, and placed fourth in 2018. She is the 2019 World Cross Country champion,” Sholei said.
