Emmanuel Wanyonyi confirms his participation

Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Kenya’s young 800-meter prodigy, made athletics history by winning the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Aged just 20, he dominated the final with an exceptional time of 1:41.19, becoming the third fastest man ever over this distance, just behind legends David Rudisha and Wilson Kipketer. Three successive victories here in Rabat consolidated his place among the sport’s greatest. His meteoric rise, which began with a world junior title in 2021, is testament to his immense talent and determination to push back the boundaries of what is possible.
