Kenya's Kipyegon aims to be first woman to break 4-minute mile

Faith Kipyegon, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and holder of multiple world records in running, is aiming to become the first woman to run sub-four minutes in the mile at Stade Charléty. This ambitious goal, part of Nike's "Breaking 4" project, seeks to challenge her legacy by pushing beyond incremental progress. With her past achievements setting a high bar and facing significant time improvements from just two years ago, Kipyegon's attempt is both challenging and symbolic, celebrating women's capabilities in athletics.
