Jepkosgei is leading the U20 World Athletics Athlete Refugee Team (ART) at the Paris 2024 Olympics. For over two years now, she has been the team’s head coach based at Kakuma, a resettlement camp located in Kenya. The one-time world champion, an Olympics silver medalist, a Diamond League Final winner and World Championships silver medalist discusses with UN Women her transition from running to coaching, a rare move for female athletes in Kenya, and why there’s need for more female coaches in sports.
