Today, Triple Olympic and World Champion Faith Kipyegon will attempt to become the first woman in the history of the world to break the four-minute mile.
In a widely marketed event sponsored by sportswear industry leader Nike, Kipyegon will attempt a time that has long been considered humanly impossible for women. Similar to Roger Bannister’s history-making sub-four-minute mile achievement back in 1954, she dreams of proving that, as Nike puts, “everything is possible” and further, to “set the stage for future generations to dream big.”
