27 yr old mile world record taken down today......
Not sure if anyone cares, but as someone who's been following the sport for decades, this was amazing.
Didn't like Josh Kerr at first, being a trash talker (vs Ingebrigtsen etc). But this Scotsman has certainly earned all the respect now. Taking down a Hicham el Guerrouj record that has stood since 1999. 3:27 split at 1500 when the world record there is by the same guy decades ago at 3:26.
Only a few old records left now, especially on the womens' side - but it's getting close.
Fk, the U.K has always produced gods at these distances. Remember watching Sebastian Coe's training vids and read papers by Tom McKean.

Especially for a white boi.
