Kipchoge, who has already won the award twice (2018 and 2019), also made the World Athletics' Men's Athlete of the Year award final list for the 2020 and 2021 awards. The athletes were selected by an international panel of athletics experts, comprising representatives from all six continental areas of World Athletics. It has been another memorable year for the sport and the nominations reflect some of the standout performances achieved at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, World Athletics Indoor Championships Belgrade 22, one-day meeting circuits and other events around the world. The remaining points will be awarded from votes cast by the World Athletics Family, which is made up of athletes, coaches and officials.
