Dubbed Kenya's 'Dancing Queen' of 800m, Mary Moraa to chase medal at Paris Olympics

Known as ‘The Dancing Queen’ of athletics, owing to her intricate rhythmic moves preceded by a joyous leap every time she crosses the finish line first, Mary Moraa says she finds joy in a sport that she fell in love with at an early age. The 24-year-old has overcome her tough grief-filled upbringing to sit on top of the world in the Women’s 800 meters discipline. After winning gold at the World Athletics Championships in 2023, she’s determined to win another medal at the Paris Olympics this year.
