Josh Kerr Smashes Mile World Record at London Diamond League

The mile world record has a new owner, with Great Britain's Josh Kerr delivering an 'unbelievable' performance at the London Diamond League event held at London Stadium. Kerr crossed the finish line in a breathtaking time, surpassing the previous record held by Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj, which had stood since 1999. The margin of victory was reported to be half a second.

Kerr's record-breaking run was a highlight of the event, drawing significant attention from multiple news outlets. While Kerr achieved a historic milestone, fellow GB athlete Keely Hodgkinson's attempt to break another long-standing world record fell short on the same day.
