To make sure she hits her targets, Kipyegon has switched camp from Nakuru to Eldoret, where she has signed up with Global Sports Communication, the same firm that manages World marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge.

Kipyegon has also opted to switch coaches from Bram Som, the 2006 European 800m champion, to join Patrick Sang, former Olympic silver medalist in the steeplechase.

"It made sense to join Patrick because I now live in Eldoret," said Kipyegon. "I knew Patrick before I came here and Bram and Patrick still talk to one another about my training. To be honest, my training now is quite similar to what it was before. I really enjoy being with Patrick; he is a really nice person and a caring coach."

With eyes on edging out Sifan Hassan, Kipyego believes with good training she will achieve her goal. The pair clashed at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Qatar with the in-form Hassan winning out as Kipyegon settled for silver.

This year's Olympic Games will run from July 24 to August 9.
