IrelandJosh Kerr set a new one-mile world record with a time of 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League, breaking the previous mark held by Hicham El Guerrouj since 1999. Kerr, representing Britain, had trained extensively for this achievement, including using a custom aerodynamic race kit and ice baths timed to match the target record. His performance came after he initially appeared to be slightly off pace but surged ahead once pacemakers exited the track. This marks the seventh British male athlete to hold the one-mile world record, joining legends like Roger Bannister and Seb Coe.
