Nixon Kiplimo Chepseba (born December 12, 1990 in Cherepes Village, Kerio Valley) is a Kenyan middle-distance runner .
Athletic career
Like many other successful Kenyan runners, Chepseba attended Patrick's High School in Iten , where he was trained by Brother Colm O'Connell. His first international assignment was at the Junior African Championships in Mauritius . There he immediately won the silver medal in the 1,500 meter run.
Chepseba's international breakthrough came in the 2011 season. Among other things , he won the overall ranking over 1500 m in the IAAF Diamond League with victories at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix and the Weltklasse Zürich . In 2012 he increased his personal best at the Herculis in Monaco to 3: 29.77 m. This made him the third fastest 1,500 meter runner of the year at the Olympic Games in London , but only finished there in a disappointing eleventh place.
At the 2013 World Championships in Moscow , Chepseba came fourth.
