Kenya’s 1500m world champion Elijah Manangoi has given fans a rare look at life away from the track, posting photos of his elegant home on Instagram that have drawn thousands of likes.
The compound, however, steals the show. A thick, neatly trimmed lawn covers the entire front yard, dotted with young conifers and spiky palms planted at even intervals.
A low perimeter wall with a black-and-white painted kerb runs along the driveway, while tall trees in the background stand against an open blue sky.
Manangoi paired the photos with a caption on the value of lawn mowing. He wrote that lawn mowers give a compound a clean cut and make a big difference to how good it looks.
He followed it with a silver medal at the 2019 World Championships in Doha. In 2017, he also won the Diamond League 1500m title, cementing his place among Kenya’s finest middle-distance runners.
The photos offer a glimpse of the quieter side of a champion who has spent years in the spotlight, and suggest that for Manangoi, home is where he finds his peace.
