Robert Kiptoo Biwott (born 28 January 1996) is a Kenyan middle-distance runner. In 2013, he won the World Youth Championship at 1500 metres and the African Youth Championship at both 800 m and 1500 m. He won the 800 metres in his Diamond League debut in 2014.

Career[edit]

Biwott won two gold medals at the inaugural African Youth Championships in Warri, Nigeria in March 2013, running 1:47.01 in the 800 m and 3:41.96 in the 1500 m.[1] In June he won the 1500 m at the Kenyan tryouts for the World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine, earning selection;[2] his time of 3:38.5 was his personal best and at that point topped the annual world youth list.[3] Biwott won by more than five seconds in Donetsk, running successively faster laps to improve his world youth leading time to 3:36.77; the time was also a new championship record.[4]

Biwott debuted in the IAAF Diamond League at the 2014 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix and won a narrow victory in the 800 m after Algeria's Taoufik Makhloufi, the 2012 Olympic champion at 1500 m, started celebrating too early.[5] Biwott's time, 1:44.69, was a personal best by more than two seconds.[5]
