Faith kipyegon looking to become the first woman to run Sub Minute Mile: “Why don’t you dream out of the box? | Athletics News

Kibaigon, the Olympic Gold Medal, will try three times, to become the first woman to break for four minutes; The Kenyan race in Paris will not be calculated on June 26 as a global record; KiPyegon has a better mile for women from 4: 07.64; The 31 -year -old won 1500 meters of gold in the last three Olympic Games

Faith kipyegon “dreams outside the box” because she looks forward to becoming the first woman to run a tendency in less than four minutes

Kibaigon, who won the Olympic Gold Medal three times, will try to become the first woman to break the four -minute inclination when she runs in Paris on June 26.

The Kenyan champion – the Olympic champion in the 1500 -meter race in the last three versions of games – scored the World Records of 4: 07.64 in Monaco in July 2023.

Therefore, KiPyegon will have to trim more than seven seconds of its time to decline less than four minutes, but the rubber track in Stade Charléty – where it recorded the fastest 1500 meters and 5000 meters – should help it.

The time of the 31 -year -old girl will not be a global official record as the technically advanced heart and group of heart attack devices and shoes are likely to use.

Kipyegon said: “I am a three -time Olympic champion. I have achieved the titles of the World Championship. I thought: What? Why do I not dream outside the box?”

“The goal of faith is not only related to breaching it for four minutes, and this is what is special,” Espn told ESPN.

“She is based on her legacy on confidence and the ambition of women and girls. She says she wants to see to dream of their dream.”

The British Roger Banyster was the first man to run a minute inclination, in May 1954, while the current world record for this distance is 3: 43.13 set by Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj in Rome in 1999.
