The death of Kiptum, favourite for the marathon at the Paris Olympics later this year, has shocked Kenya and the world of athletics.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula wrote that Ng’etich’s performance was “absolutely phenomenal”.
Kiptum will fight it out for the prestigious award against Swedish pole vault world record holder Mondo Duplantis, India's javelin world champion Neeraj Chopra, America's shot put world record holder Ryan Crouser and American double world champion sprinter Noah Lyles.
The nomination caps off a sensational year for the four-time world champion that saw her defend her world title in Budapest while also breaking three world records over 1500m, 5000m and the mile in the Diamond League series.
