Kerr surpasses record after 27 years
Scottish runner Josh Kerr, now based in America, broke the world record for the mile with a time of 3 minutes and 42.66 seconds during the London Diamond League meet. He surpassed the previous record of 3:43.13 held by Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj for 27 years, since 1999. This achievement came after intense preparations by Kerr to break the historic record. He entered the race with a personal best of 3:45.34, placing him sixth on the all-time list of best runners. Kerr managed to control the race, pulling ahead in the final meters amid a large crowd at the Olympic Stadium in London, and celebrated enthusiastically crossing the finish line. This time marks a historic milestone in middle-distance running and is considered one of the most significant world records in decades.
