“I am happy for my first diamond trophy, I am happy for my country, I am happy for my fans all over the world.
“Now, the season is over for me and I will have like three to four weeks off then I start my program for the next season,’ Moraa stated.
Moraa won her first-ever Diamond League 800m race in June 2022 in Rabat, Morocco.
After her win, she cheered on her fellow compatriot Emmanuel Korir. The 22-year-old noted that she has been training with Korir for a long period.
"After I finished, I was watching my teammate Korir winning the men's 800m and that was awesome.
"We are teammates since we were 18 and we sometimes train together so I was very happy for him to win right after me,” Moraa added.
