Josh Kerr runs 3:42.66 to smash men's mile world record held since 1999

British athlete Josh Kerr set a new men's mile world record on Saturday, clocking 3 minutes 42.66 seconds at a Diamond League meet. He broke the record of Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj, which had stood since 1999 when it was set in Rome. It is one of the most long-awaited records to fall in athletics history.
