The 4-minute-mile
This historic event took place on 6 May 1954 at Iffley Road track in Oxford and was watched by about 3,000 spectators during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University. With winds up to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h), the event was almost cancelled. However, the persistent Bannister prevailed and was rewarded with the honour of running the "Miracle Mile". |
