Kenyan athletes Eunice Sum and Julius Yego led the tributes to compatriot Agnes Tirop who was found stabbed to death at her home in the town of Iten on Wednesday.
Local police said they were treating Tirop's husband as a suspect and have asked him to come forward.
Tirop, 25, finished fourth in the 5,000m at this year's Tokyo Olympics and won bronze medals at the 2017 and 2019 World Championships in the 10,000m. She was also a twice gold medallist at the World Cross Country Championships.
