More than 70 years have passed since Roger Banniser became the first human to clock a sub-4 minute mile. Now, Faith Kipyegon looks to etch her name in history as the first woman to accomplish the feat Thursday in Paris.

Kipyegon, who previously lowered the world record in the mile to 4:07.64 in July 2023, will make her attempt today, 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.
