The 39-year-old Kipchoge will attempt to become the first person to win three consecutive marathon titles at the Games.

Wanyonyi secured his place in the men’s 800m final after a commanding performance in his semi-final heat on Friday, leading from start to finish and clocking an impressive time of 1:43.32.

Meanwhile, Faith Kipyegon, the reigning Olympic champion, is also in prime form after an effortless victory in her 1500m semi-final on Thursday.

She crossed the finish line in 3:58.64, with Great Britain’s Georgia Bell trailing closely behind in 3:59.49. Kipyegon’s dominance in the event has her poised to defend her title.
