Faith Kipyegon, a Kenyan middle-distance runner and three-time Olympic champion, plans to become the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes. Scheduled for June 26, the challenge aims to inspire women and showcase the importance of dreaming beyond perceived limits. Armed with state-of-the-art shoes and male pacers, Kipyegon intends to cut nearly eight seconds off her personal best of 4min 07.64sec. Her bold ambition is paralleled by previous athletic milestones, challenging long-held beliefs about women's capabilities in sports.
I want this attempt to say to women: You can dream and make your dreams valid. This is the way to go as women, to push boundaries and dream big.
Kipyegon will be armed with the next generation of super shoes and the assistance of male pacers to help her achieve her goal.
