Marathon runner Rebecca Cheptegei, who made her mark at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is now in critical condition after a brutal attack by her boyfriend.
The Ugandan athlete, 33, was set on fire in the small town of Endebess, Kenya, during a disagreement with her partner, Dickson Ndiema.
Officials revealed that Dickson had entered her property on Sunday, September 1, while Rebecca was at church with her two children. He was allegedly armed with a can of petrol.
