  • Ben Jipcho is a former athlete from Kenya, who won the silver medal in the 3,000 metres Steeplechase at the 1972 Summer Olympics, behind his teammate Kipchoge Keino. Jipcho won 5,000 metres race in the 1973 All-Africa Games. He also won the golden medal in the 5,000 metres and 3,000 metres Steeplechase, and the bronze medal in the 1,500 metres at the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand. Jipcho may be as well-known for his role in Keino's victory over Jim Ryun in the high altitude 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City as for his own athletic accomplishments. Sacrificing his own chances for a medal to team tactics, he pulled Keino through a 56 second first 400 meters before being passed by his teammate with 800 meters to go and drifting back into the pack. By that point, Keino had established a lead of 20 meters or more, which Ryun's famous finishing speed could not erase. His granddaughter Esther Chemutai is also a runner, while he is a distant uncle to the siblings Linet Masai and Moses Masai .
  • Ben Jipcho on entinen kenialainen estejuoksija, joka voitti hopeaa 3 000 metrin estejuoksussa Münchenin olympialaisissa 1972 maanmiehensä Kipchoge Keinon jälkeen ja ennen Suomen Tapio Kantasta. Jipcho voitti 5 000 metrin juoksun ja 3 000 metrin estejuoksun Afrikan kisoissa Lagosissa 1973. Hänen esteaikansa 8.20,7 alitti maailmanennätyksen mutta sitä ei kuitenkaan hyväksytty viralliseksi maailmanennätykseksi. Jipcho voitti 5 000 metriä ja 3 000 metrin esteet myös vuoden 1974 kansainyhteisön kisoissa Christchurchissa Uudessa-Seelannissa. Hän paransi estejuoksun virallista maailmanennätystä kahdesti Helsingissä vuonna 1973: aika 8.19,8 syntyi 19. kesäkuuta ja 8.14,0 kahdeksan päivää myöhemmin.
