Kenya's queens of the track, Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet have been awarded the prestigious Golden Plate by the Academy of Achievers of the United States of America.

The three-time Olympic champion received the award just three days before she competes in her final track race this season, at the Athlos meeting in New York, the same city she bagged the Golden Plate earlier today.
