Giles breaks world road mile record in Dusseldorf
Britain’s Elliot Giles won the men’s race at the New Balance KO Meile in Dusseldorf on Sunday (1), smashing the world record with 3:51.3*.
The Olympic 800m semifinalist held off a strong challenge from USA’s Olympic 1500m bronze medallist Yared Nuguse, who finished second in 3:51.9.
Both men were well inside the ratified world record of 3:56.13 set by Hobbs Kessler at the 2023 World Road Running Championships in Riga. They also bettered the mark of 3:54.6 – which is pending ratification – recorded earlier this year by Emmanuel Wanyonyi.
Vincent Keter was third in 3:54.9.
