On 6th May 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first sub-4-minute mile at Iffley Road, Oxford. He held his world record for just six weeks before his great rival, John Landy of Australia, broke it by more than a second with a time of 3:58.0. The stage was now set for a dramatic showdown between the two runners in the final of the One Mile at the Empire Games in Vancouver on 7th August 1954. This race proved to be probably the most exciting mile race ever run and is still known as the “Miracle Mile”. A statue stands in Vancouver to commemorate its moment of highest drama, when John Landy looked back over his left shoulder just as Roger Bannister passed him on his right. Of that instant John Landy said, “When Lots wife looked back she was turned into a pillar of salt. When I looked back I was turned into a pillar of bronze!”.

Steel Panther performs the White Snake cover Here I go again at the Commodore Ball room in Vancouver BC on March 9th or 10th 2011.
probably? 3:30…
But why look to? his LEFT?? No one can pass him on his left since he OWNS lane 1. OK? Even the announcer says, “Landry looked the wrong way.”
I don’t think he? expected Bannister to be so close
I like how a doctor is winning a major sporting event. Kinda like? a Dr. Bolt
went to make a sandwich b4 the race, but they finished before i got? back =/
Great race. Both competitors classy and humble.? The world could use more of that today.
wow Bannister sounded so? sick I hear a weazy chest infection
athletes were real Gentleman back then look how humble in victory they was and how complimentary of their opponents in defeat.
with how much technology and sports science as moved if these guys were living a modern athletes lifestyle and racing today they? would no doubt be up their around WR times
STRAYA!?
Legend?
Love seeing a runner almost collapse with exhaustion! Not a runner myself, but I would love to see a runner push themselves so hard they can’t stand after the race; that? would give an amazing time!
Why would Landry look to his LEFT? He already was in lane 1 and no one could pass on his? left. Did it cost him the race? Foolish mistake!
It’s crazy? how now-a-days when runners finish they just trot along the track, in this race bannister collapses across the line
I ran a 3:36 when i was 21 but could never duplicate that feat ever? again.
my 9 year old brother ran a 4 minute mile. tru story bruh?
such class back then.?
thats? pretty fast
My friends brother? ran a 4:40 in 9th grade
Just? finished the perfect mile which led me here. Really awesome this is. I just wish santee was there with them. Would have been great then. The 3 go down in history as one of the greatest battling trios ever.
I need to learn how to finish a race? like Bannister… he had absolutely no juice left when he crossed the line! That’s called getting your moneys worth… I gotta learn how to do that the next race, it must take serious balls to ignore his body and use up the last drop!
wow that is really cool to hear their voices and how they sounded?
I quite agree
?
