4:06.42 is the official time for Faith Kipyegon at the #Breaking4 event in Paris. That's faster than her 4:07.64 women's mile world record. That's the fastest mile ever by a woman. It will not count toward a world record due to the rotating cast of pacers and the spikes utilized.

"My favorite story about Faith is seeing her in anti-doping room afetr a meet. 'Oh, Faith! How did it go?' 'Yeah, it was really good. I'm really happy.' I'm checking my phone and I see WR, WR, WR. It just continues. She's a really great force to be reckoned with." – Keely Hodgkinson
