The only other runner to ever achieve the trifecta was Yomif Kejelcha, an Ethiopian distance runner who formerly held the world record in the short track mile at 3:47.01 from 2019 to 2025.
Last year, Fisher became the first American man to win a medal in both the 5k and 10k races at a single Olympic Games.
He walked away from the 2024 Paris Olympics with a bronze in the 5,000m and 10,000m competitions.
Fisher moved to Park City in 2023 from Eugene, Oregon to train at higher altitudes.
