Faith Kipyegon, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder, is set to attempt a historic feat by breaking the four-minute mile barrier on June 26 at Stade Charlety in Paris. Supported by Nike's "Breaking 4" project, Kipyegon, who recently set the women's mile record at 4:07.64, is committed to this ambitious challenge. Her effort, which aims to shave nearly eight seconds off her record, highlights significant improvements in women's middle-distance running, echoing the challenges faced by previous athletes in breaking longstanding barriers.
Kipyegon's world-record mile time of 4:07.64, set at the Monaco Diamond League, shows her capability, but breaking the four-minute barrier is an unprecedented challenge.
Nike's initiative "Breaking 4" aims to support Kipyegon’s attempt in June, utilizing Stade Charlety, where she has previously achieved top times.
