Additional quotes by Hellen Obiri

You know, now you are saying you are not alone...There’s someone who depends on me. My daughter needs to go to school, needs to have a good background, a good life. So you have to work hard because someone is looking up to you.

It is all about focus. The training for 1500m and 5000m is different, you do more because the distance is longer, you basically change everything in training.

I do hope that next year (2024) is going to be good for me because I’ve done a lot and I’ve won the silver medal...So I want to upgrade it to gold.
