The Breaking4 was a bell climate occasion.
Held at Stade Charlety, in Paris, France, on a squeaky quick MONDO monitor floor, the Breaking4 celebrated an athlete in her prime, a 3 time Olympic gold medalist, World Champion and WR holder on the 1,500 meters, Mile and 5,000 meters.
Religion Kipyegon is an amazing athlete, Mom and international position mannequin for girls of all ages. Her try on the 4 minute mile, which resulted in a 4:06.9 mile, caught the world’s consideration in solely a method that NIKE may have executed. Was it excessive? Sure. Did she not break 4 minutes? No, and I’m not positive that was ever within the playing cards.
However what Religion Kipyegon did, by giving the world 4 minutes and 6 plus seconds to look at a lady run a mile, reminded a brand new technology that goals can come true. Someplace on the earth, there’s a younger girls, who noticed the race and could possibly be impressed to run that mile.
The audio under was a enjoyable interview that I did with Sarah Mulkerrins and Ed Harry of the BBC as a preview for Breaking 4, which occurred on June 26, 2025. I hope that you just get pleasure from it.
I like my work with the BBC, it’s enjoyable and provoking and permits me to share my enthusiasm on the worldwide sport with many. Particular because of Ed Harry and Sarah Mulkerrins, who’re all the time so gracious!
And because of Religion Kipyegon who conjures up hundreds of thousands!
