Kenya has not won the women steeplechase title since it was introduced to the Olympics in 2008.

That drought continued into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as Hyvin Kiyeng could only manage a bronze medal as Uganda’s Peruth Chemutai raced to the gold medal with USA’s Courtney Frerichs taking the silver medal.
