Faith Kipyegon has addressed her attempt to become the first-ever woman to run a mile in under four minutes, following her race on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
In her statement released on Friday, June 27, Kipyegon said that she attempted the race to show the world that people need to push themselves. "I dared to try, 'Breaking4' was about showing the world that we have to push ourselves.
This one was for all the young girls and women out there to show that you have to believe in yourself in everything you do," she said.
She also thanked everyone, including the organisers and fans, for the support they showed her.
