    In a thrilling men’s 3000m steeplechase final at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Soufiane El Bakkali delivered a historic performance to become the first man to successfully defend his title since 1936. The final was a high-stakes contest featuring reigning Olympic champion El Bakkali, world record holder Lamecha Girma, and a strong Kenyan trio—Amos Serem, Abraham Kibiwott, and Simon Koech.

    The Kenyan athletes, aiming to restore Kenya’s dominance in the event, showed remarkable determination. Conseslus Kipruto was the last Kenyan to win gold in this event at the 2016 Rio Olympics, with Benjamin Kigen narrowly missing the podium in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
