Kenya rewards runner Kipyegon with $35,000 and house for breaking 2 world records
Distance runner Faith Kipyegon was given $35,000 and a house by Kenyan President William Ruto on Tuesday as a reward for breaking two world records in the space of a week. Kipyegon, who met with Ruto at the president's office, said she would now fulfill a promise she had made to buy her father a new car. The 29-year-old Kipyegon, a two-time Olympic champion in the 1,500 meters, set a new 1,500 world record in Florence, Italy on June 2 when she broke the eight-year-old mark set by Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia. Kipyegon became the first woman to go under 3 minutes, 50 seconds with her 3:49.11. She broke the 5,000 meters record last Friday at the Paris Diamond League meet by clocking 14:05.20, winning that race ahead of former world record-holder Letesenbet Gidey of Ethiopia. “Faith has made Kenya incredibly proud,” Ruto said. “She stands as a shining model of consistency, discipline, hard work, as well as family. Faith is a great Kenyan woman — a mother, a wife and a world champion rolled into one.” Ruto pledged that the Kenyan government will also give similar rewards to future world-record breakers. ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Read More Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide

Russia-Ukraine war live: Wagner boss warns Putin his army ‘may not stay in Ukraine’
Having taken the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after a months-long battle, Russia’s Wagner mercenary group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Tuesday that he was “not sure” if Wagner would stay in Ukraine. Wagner mercenaries have previously been active in parts of Africa and the Middle East, with a few contracts remaining there. Last month, Prigozhin launched a scathing attack on Vladimir Putin‘s invasion strategy, claiming that Russia could face a revolution similar to 1917 and lose the war in Ukraine unless changes are made by Kremlin leadership. Meanwhile, Russia launched a “massive” attack overnight on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, killing at least ten people and wounding 28 others. “As of 1300 (1000 GMT) 10 people have been killed,” city mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said in a Telegram post, adding that another person was under the rubble and a further 28 were injured. At least 10 out of 14 cruise missiles and one out of four Iranian-made drones fired by Russia were downed by Ukraine’s air forces, the country’s top military command said.
