Ostře sledovaný útok nevyšel. Hvězdná Keňanka se vysněné metě nepřiblížila

Bývá označována za možná nejlepší středotraťařku historie. V 31 letech má na kontě tři zlata z olympijských her, čtyři z mistrovství světa. Teď šla po zřejmě nejodvážnější výzvě.

Firma Nike kolem jejího pokusu vystavila kampaň podobnou, jako když Eliud Kipchoge útočil na hranici dvou hodin na maratonské vzdálenosti.

Volba stadionu byla logická, Kipyegonová na něm před dvěma lety zaběhla světový rekord na 1500 m 3:49,04, překonala tu historické maximum i na 5000 m. Teď bylo jasné, že se její výkon do historických tabulek počítat nebude, už jen kvůli společnému startu se třináctkou mužských vodičů.

Ti mužští ji obklopili ve formaci, na které spolupracovala umělá inteligence. Vše s vizí, že 71 let po Rogeru Bannisterovi padne hranice čtyř minut i v ženském podání. Zdálo se to jako odvážný cíl, však světový rekord Kipyegonové má hodnotu 4:07,64.

Ubrat 7,64 sekundy? To se i s maximální podporou zdálo nemožné. „Musela by probíhat patnáctistovkou kolem 3:42, to mi přijde nereálné,“ tvrdil třeba český rekordman na 1500 m Jakub Holuša.

Faith Kipyegonová probíhá cílem v Paříži.

„Jsem ráda, že se takové akce dělají. Dokud to někdo nezkusí, tak se nezjistí, co je možné, i když mi to také přijde nereálné,“ přitakávala finalistka olympiády v Tokiu Kristiina Sasínek Mäki.

Na stadionu pokryla prostor uvnitř oválu fialová plachta, dráhu obklopily nápisy Breaking4. Dnes už samozřejmostí byla světelná technologie ukazující potřebné tempo. Keňanka navlékla speciální černý dres, obula tretry vážící 85 gramů.

Závodu předcházel slavnostní nástup vodičů včetně amerického olympijského medailisty na 5000 i 10 000 m z Paříže Granta Fishera a zejména Kipyegonové, poté i krátký rozklus.

Po startovním výstřelu držela potřebné tempo první dva okruhy, po třetím už na plánovaný mezičas ztrácela více než sekundu. V závěru jí síly došly.

Cílem proběhla v čase 4:06,42, o sekundu kvalitnějším než stávající světový rekord, přesto daleko od vysněné mety. Dlouho se za cílem vydýchávala. „Jak se cítím? Unavená,“ usmála se v rozhovoru na ploše. „Ale jsem ráda, že jsem to zkusila. Věřím, že je možné čtyři minuty pokořit. Možná to nebudu já, ale jednou se to nějaké ženě povede,“ je přesvědčená.

Ostatně Kipchoge, jenž je tréninkovým partnerem Kipyegonové a byl přímo na stadionu, metu dvou hodin na maratonské trati pokořil také až na druhý pokus.
