# Athletics: Kenya’s triple Olympic champion in the one-thousand-500-metres, Faith Kipyegon, will try to become the first woman to run the mile in under four minutes in the French capital of Paris tonight. Nike’s “Breaking4” project follows the success of Kipyegon’s compatriot Eliud Kipchoge’s unofficial sub-two hour marathon. The world-renowned manufacturer believes her 85-gram super-spikes will give her a very good chance. Kipyegon, who will be helped by pacers, have to shave off over seven seconds from her own 2023 world record over the distance.
