Olympic Champ Kipyegon Looks to Be First Woman to Break 4-Minute Mile
- On June 26, 2025, Faith Kipyegon aims to make history at Stade Charléty in Paris by being the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes.
- Kipyegon's effort follows her 2023 mile world record of 4:07.64 and is supported by Nike's advanced gear and pacing research to overcome a 7.65-second gap.
- She trains near her Kenyan home, maintains a steady routine with coach Patrick Sang, and draws motivation from inspiring the next generation and her daughter Alyn.
- Experts note the challenge in achieving 70.1% drafting effectiveness and acknowledge Kipyegon's unique abilities, while Nike brands the attempt a 'moonshot' and will broadcast it live.
- If successful, Kipyegon's historic run could redefine women's distance running barriers and reaffirm the message that 'no human is limited,' boosting both sport and Nike's brand.
