Kenya's two-time world and Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon on Thursday evening capped an undefeated season at 1500m by winning a third Diamond League Trophy in Zurich.

After clinching the 2017 and 2021 titles, Kipyegon, who has only raced once since the World Championships held in Oregon - in a world record attempt in Monaco where she only fell short by only 0.3 seconds - fended off a strong challenge in her title defence.
