Allegedly, stabbed to death at home by her husband. He's gone missing.
What a tragic loss, an incredible woman.

Oh god - how awful. That poor woman.

So so very sad.

"In September 2021, Tirop shattered a long-standing women-only 10km world record at the Adizero Road To Records event in Germany.

Her time of 30:01 shaved 28 seconds from the previous record held by Morocco's Asmae Leghzaoui set in 2002."

Fantastic athelete, just a young woman of 25.

I read about this elsewhere but not that she died at the hands of her husband. Poor woman, so much potential, gone way too soon.

RIP Agnes 💐
