Kenya at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships: all 11 medals

Kenya's Tokyo medals came almost entirely from the middle and long distances, and almost entirely from women. Six of the seven golds were won by women. The full list is in the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025 guide, with each result linked to its official World Athletics report.

The seven golds

Beatrice Chebet opened Kenya's account on the first night, winning the women's 10,000m in 30:37.61. She returned a week later to win the women's 5000m in 14:54.36, completing the distance double.

Peres Jepchirchir won the women's marathon in 2:24:43, two seconds ahead of Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa. Faith Kipyegon defended her title in the women's 1500m in 3:52.15, two months after setting the world record of 3:48.68 in Eugene.

Three Kenyans broke championship records. Faith Cherotich won the women's 3000m steeplechase in 8:51.59. Emmanuel Wanyonyi won the men's 800m in 1:41.86, in a race where the top three were separated by 0.09 seconds. On the final day Lilian Odira won the women's 800m in 1:54.62, breaking a championship record that had stood since 1983.

Silver and bronze

Dorcus Ewoi took silver behind Kipyegon in the women's 1500m in 3:54.92. Kipyegon herself took silver in the women's 5000m, 0.71 seconds behind Chebet. Edmund Serem won bronze in the men's 3000m steeplechase in 8:34.56, and Reynold Cheruiyot won bronze in the men's 1500m in 3:34.25.
