Faith Kipyegon, the triple Olympic champion from Kenya, missed her attempt to become the first woman to run a sub-four minute mile, finishing with a time of 4min 06.42sec on Thursday at Stade Charlety in Paris.

• She used advanced technology and had the support of 13 pacers, but her performance did not count as a new world record due to male pacemakers.
• Kipyegon expressed her determination, stating, "I've proven it's possible, it's only a matter of time."
• The sub-four minute mile, first achieved by Roger Bannister in 1954, remains an elusive goal for female athletes.

Loice Chemnung won her first national 10,000m title amidst challenging rain conditions at the Athletics Kenya National Championships held at Ulinzi Sports Complex, finishing with a time of 31:39.09.

• Chemnung's victory is a significant achievement as she missed last year's Olympic team.
• She aims to qualify for the upcoming World Championship trials on August 1-2.
• Cintia Chepng’eno secured second place with a time of 32:22.44, while Rebecca Mwangi finished third at 32:22.85.
