She is a two-time world champion after winning the 5,000 m in 2017 and again in 2019, when she set a new championship record. Obiri also took world bronze for the 1,500 metres in 2013 and silver in the 10,000 m in 2022. She won the 3,000 metres race at the 2012 World Indoor Championships, claimed silver in 2014, and placed fourth in 2018. She is the 2019 World Cross Country champion.

She won a bronze medal in the 2024 Summer Olympics in the Women's marathon.

Obiri is the former Kenyan national record holder for the mile and the 5000 metres. Both those records were only recently broken by Faith Kipyegon on her way to setting the current mile World Record of 4:07.64 set in Monaco on 21 July 2023. Kipyegon is also the national 5000 metre record holder, by reason of being the immediate former 5000 metre World Record holder with a time of 14:05.20 set in Paris France on 9 June 2023.

Obiri was cited as one of the Top 100 most influential Africans by New African magazine in 2017.{{Cite web|last=fadamana|date=2017-12-07|title=100 Most Influential Africans: Ten Kenyans Including CJ David Maraga Listed|url=https://answersafrica.com/100-most-influential-africans-list.html|access-date=2021-01-05|website=Answers Africa|language=en-US|archive-date=21 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121200236/https://answersafrica.com/100-most-influential-africans-list.html|url-status=live}}

Early life and background

Hailing from Kisii in south-western Kenya, Obiri was the fourth child in a family of six children. At age 14, she was recruited as a 200 and 400 metres sprinter to attend Riruta Central Secondary School in Nairobi. However, she lost interest in the sport and stopped running altogether in 2006 and 2007 to focus on her studies. She only re-engaged with athletics to join the military. In 2009, Obiri graduated from Kenya Defence Forces Recruit Training School in Eldoret. Her first major race was at the 2010 Kenya Armed Forces Cross Country Championships, where she finished 32nd. She placed fifth after some training the following year. She is a member of the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF).{{Cite web |date=4 June 2014 |title=Hellen in eleven |url=https://worldathletics.org/spikes/news/11-things-you-may-not-know-about-hellen-obiri |access-date=14 April 2018 |website=Spikes |publisher=World Athletics |archive-date=17 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230417163510/https://worldathletics.org/spikes/news/11-things-you-may-not-know-about-hellen-obiri |url-status=live }}

She is married to Tom Nyaundi, a former runner, and they have a daughter, Tania 'Blessing' Macheche, born in May 2015 through caesarean section. Obiri resumed racing within seven months.{{Cite web |last=Makori |first=Elias |date=14 April 2018 |title=Hellen Obiri: How I shed 23kg after childbirth to run again |url=https://nation.africa/kenya/sports/athletics/hellen-obiri-how-i-shed-23kg-after-childbirth-to-run-again-32862 |access-date=14 April 2018 |website=Daily Nation |archive-date=18 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230418063519/https://nation.africa/kenya/sports/athletics/hellen-obiri-how-i-shed-23kg-after-childbirth-to-run-again-32862 |url-status=live }}

Career

Obiri gained her first international experience at the 2011 Military World Games in Rio de Janeiro, where she won the bronze medal for the 800 metres and placed fourth in the 1500 metres. She debuted in the World Championships in Athletics held in 2011 in Daegu, South Korea the following month, competing at the latter distance. Obiri set a personal best time of 4:07.59 in the heats but fell in the final, bringing pre-event favourite Morgan Uceny down with her, and finished 10th. She later said, "After Daegu I went back to Kenya and started training seriously."

In 2012, the 22-year-old took her first global title at the Istanbul World Indoor Championships, clocking 8:37.16 over the 3000 metres. This became the turning point of her career. That same year, she debuted in the Olympics at the London Games, finishing initially 12th and last in the 1500 m final, upgraded to eighth after subsequent doping disqualifications.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}

On 1 June 2013, Obiri won her first Diamond League race with 1500 m victory in Eugene, setting a new personal best and meet record of 3:58.58. She earned bronze in the event at the World Championships in Athletics held in August in Moscow. Obiri then earned the silver medal in the 3000 m at the 2014 World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland, behind multiple world record-holder Genzebe Dibaba. On 9 May that year at the Doha Diamond League, she set an African record in the outdoor event with a time of 8:20.68, improving her personal best by more than 13 seconds. In August, she added 1500 m title at the African Championships.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Obiri competed in the 5000 metres and earned the silver medal in a time of 14:29.77, behind compatriot Vivian Cheruiyot in an Olympic record of 14:26.17 and ahead of Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana who ran 14:33.59.{{Cite web |date=2016-08-19 |title=The XXXI Olympic Games {{!}} Rio de Janeiro 2016 – 5000 metres Women {{!}} Final |url=https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/the-xxxi-olympic-games-7093747/results/women/5000-metres/final/result |access-date=2022-03-23 |website=World Athletics |archive-date=26 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326123957/https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/the-xxxi-olympic-games-7093747/results/women/5000-metres/final/result |url-status=live }}
