BREAKING NEWS: Faith Kipyegon has shocked the entire fan community by revealing a heartbreaking and emotional story about her beloved daughter. The tears of the Kenyan legend moved millions of hearts as the truth about her family was revealed for the first time.

In a rare and deeply personal interview aired late last night on KTN Kenya, two-time Olympic 1500m champion Faith Kipyegon broke down in tears while speaking about her eight-year-old daughter, Alyn, and the private struggle the family has kept hidden for years.

The 31-year-old world record holder revealed that Alyn was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy that affects her left leg, making everyday movement painful and running almost impossible in her early years.

Faith’s voice cracked as she recalled the day doctors delivered the diagnosis when Alyn was only 18 months old. “I cried for weeks,” she admitted. “I kept asking God why my little girl had to suffer when running is the only thing I know.”

Despite the challenges, Faith refused to let her daughter feel limited. She began taking Alyn to the dusty training tracks of Kaptagat as early as age three, pushing her in a stroller while doing her own sessions.

Doctors had warned that Alyn might never walk without support, but Faith introduced gentle running games, turning rehabilitation into play. “I told her running is freedom,” Faith said, wiping tears away.

To everyone’s surprise, little Alyn showed an extraordinary love for running from the very first day. At four, she insisted on joining her mother’s warm-up jogs, dragging her weaker leg but refusing to stop.

By age six, Alyn was already completing 2-kilometre runs with the local children in the village, earning cheers from neighbors who knew nothing about her condition. Faith kept it quiet to protect her daughter’s privacy.

The most emotional moment of the interview came when Faith revealed that Alyn, now eight, secretly trains every morning before school and dreams of one day standing on the same Olympic podium as her mother.

“She wakes up at 5 a.m., puts on her small spikes, and runs 5 kilometres alone on the forest path,” Faith said, sobbing. “She says, ‘Mummy, I want to run for Kenya like you, even if my leg hurts.’”

Faith confessed that watching Alyn push through pain every day has become her biggest source of strength. “People think I’m strong because of medals,” she whispered. “But my real strength comes from that little girl.”

The Kenyan star also opened up about the financial burden of Alyn’s physiotherapy and specialized treatment, which costs more than most of her early prize money could cover.

Yet she never complained publicly, choosing instead to shield her daughter from media attention. “I didn’t want her to grow up as ‘the sick child of Faith Kipyegon,’” she explained.

Last month, during the Nairobi City Marathon kids’ race, Alyn shocked spectators by finishing third in the under-10 category despite an obvious limp in the final 200 metres.

Footage of the race went viral yesterday after Faith finally gave permission for it to be shared, leading to an outpouring of support from across the world.

Within hours, the hashtag #RunLikeAlyn was trending worldwide, with fans posting messages of admiration and donating to a medical fund Faith quietly opened two years ago.

Olympic champions Eliud Kipchoge and Peres Jepchirchir were among the first to react, with Kipchoge writing: “Alyn is the future. Pain is temporary, heart is permanent.”

As the interview ended, Faith held up Alyn’s tiny running spikes to the camera and said through tears: “These are my real gold medals. My daughter taught me that running is not about perfect legs. It’s about an unbreakable spirit.”

The usually reserved champion then made a promise that left viewers speechless: “One day, you will see Alyn wearing the Kenyan jersey. I don’t know when, but I know it will happen.”

Millions of fans who have followed Faith’s historic career — from double Olympic golds to multiple world records — say they have never felt more connected to her than after last night’s revelation.

For the first time, the world saw not just the unbeatable athlete, but a mother whose greatest victory happens every morning when her daughter ties her laces and chooses to run.

As Faith signed off, she left one final message: “To every parent with a child who faces challenges — never hide their light. Let them run, let them dream, let them show the world what courage really looks like.”

The interview has already been viewed more than 25 million times across platforms, with many calling it the most powerful moment in sports this year.

Faith Kipyegon may hold world records on the track, but last night she proved that her most inspiring record is the one she and Alyn are writing together — one courageous step at a time.
