Faith Kipyegon attempted to break the 4-minute-mile barrier but finished in 4:06.42, beating her own world record. Despite not achieving the milestone, she remains optimistic about the possibility in the future.
On Thursday, Faith Kipyegon attempted to run a four-minute mile at a Nike event in Paris but fell short, clocking a time of 4:06.42. Although she ran faster than her own world record, the performance was not official. Kipyegon, known for her Olympic gold medals and world titles, expressed determination to achieve the feat in the future.
Supported by pacemakers and wearing specialized gear, Kipyegon's attempt aimed to push the boundaries of women's running. Despite the challenge, she remains optimistic about the possibility of a woman breaking the four-minute mark. The event, named Breaking4 by Nike, echoed previous endeavors like Eliud Kipchoge's Breaking2 marathon attempt.
While Kipyegon's milestone remains unconquered, her pursuit symbolizes the ongoing quest for athletic excellence and gender equality in sports.
