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&#8217;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.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1186\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/ANNONCE-RABAT-WANYONYI.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Olympic champion from Paris will be in Rabat on May 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":1185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-athletes-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1190"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1192,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1190\/revisions\/1192"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1190"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rabat.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
