Some of his iconic performances include 16 victories out of 18 races in 1994 and the fastest time that year- a sub-1:44 that is yet to be matched by any other athlete to date.
Seventeen years since he hanged his spikes, Kipketer is still the second-fastest athlete of all time over 800 metres. During his prime on the track, Kipketer set the world record then later broke his own record, twice, all in 1997.
