Norah Jeruto Tanui (Kazakh: Нора Джеруто Тануй, born 2 October 1995[1]) is a Kazakhstani (formerly Kenyan) long-distance runner specialising in the steeplechase. She won the gold medal in the 3000 metres steeplechase at the 2022 World Championships, becoming the first athlete representing Kazakhstan to win a title at the World Athletics Championships and setting a championship record in the process. Jeruto took gold in the event at the 2016 African Championships in Athletics.

She was the 2021 Diamond League 3000 m steeplechase champion. Currently Jeruto is an athlete of Altay Athletics club (professional track and field club) in Kazakhstan.

Career[edit]

Her international debut came at the 2011 African Cross Country Championships, where she placed sixth in the junior race to complete a Kenyan sweep of the top six.[2] She ran the third fastest time ever for the 2000 metres steeplechase at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics, recording 6:16.41 minutes to take the gold in spite of a heavy fall at the waterjump.[3][4] Later that year she claimed the steeplechase title at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, as well as a bronze in the 3000 metres flat.[5] She missed out on selection for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics.[6]

She set a 3000 metres steeplechase best of 9:45.1 minutes at age fifteen, but struggled to improve on that in subsequent seasons.[7] She was selected for Kenya's junior team at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, but did not compete.[8]

After a runner-up performance at the Kenyan Athletics Championships, setting a best of 9:28.5 minutes behind Lydia Rotich, Jeruto made her senior international debut at the 2016 African Championships in Athletics.[9] A personal best run of 9:25.07 minutes at the competition brought her the steeplechase gold medal and a championship record.[10]

Despite her ranking, she didn't participate at 2020 Tokyo Olympics, because she was still waiting for her allegiance to Kazakhstan which she has obtained on 30 January 2022.[1]

2022–present[edit]

On May 28, 2022, at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon (third stop of the Diamond League) she ran the third fastest time ever by a woman at the 3000m steeplechase in 8.57.98. setting a world lead. She could've shaved half a second of that time as she thought she crossed the line 2–3 meters before the actual finish line.

On 20 July, she became the first athlete representing Kazakhstan to win a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships, establishing a new championship and national record of 8:53.02 in the process at the same Hayward Field in Eugene.[11]

In April 2023, she was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for the use of an unidentified prohibited substance/method from her biological passport (ABP) data.[12] After an investigation that found no case to answer, the suspension was lifted in November 2023.[13]
