How to watch Faith Kipyegon attempt to run a mile in under four minutes
Last summer, 30-year-old Faith Kipyegon became the first athlete, male or female, to win three medals in the 1500m (all of them gold). Now, the four-time Olympic medalist has her sights set on another major feat: becoming the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes. "I'm a three-time Olympic champion. I've achieved world championship titles. I thought: What else? Why not dream outside the box?" said Kiypegon. Advertisement Kipyegon, who previously lowered the world record in the mile to 4:07.64 in July 2023, will make her attempt this Thursday, June 26, in Paris, France. To achieve this milestone, she will need to run each of her four laps approximately two seconds faster than the pace she set in that world record run.
