> Kenya's Faith Kipyegon is hoping to shatter one of track and field's greatest milestones by becoming the first woman to run a mile in under 4 minutes. Running in Paris Thursday evening local time, the three-time Olympic champion will need to shave more than 7 seconds off her personal best.
> But if she succeeds, the 31-year-old Kipyegon's feat at the Stade Sbastien Charlty track in Paris won't be recorded in the history books just yet. That's because the Nike-sponsored event is considered an exhibition, so she isn't eligible for the record.
> "I'm a three-time Olympic champion. I've achieved World Championship titles. I thought, What else? Why not dream outside the box?" Kipyegon told Runner's World. "And I told myself, 'If you believe in yourself, and your team believes in you, you can do it.. ..'

Track & Field is my #1 favorite sport.

Kipyegon is a BEAST.

If any woman can go under 4:00 it is Faith.

Looks like she fell just a bit short.
She ran 4:06.41

"It's only a matter of time," Kipyegon said on the Nike broadcast. "But I think it will come to our way. If it's not me, it'll be somebody else. ... We are not limited. We can limit ourselves through our thoughts, but I think we are supposed to try everything in our lives and prove to the world that we are strong and we can push it."
