the burundi athlete was in a class of her own and defended her title.he first man to run a mile in underfour minutes — has died at the age of 88. he set the record on a track in oxford in 195a — later winning the gold at the same distance at that year's commonwealth games. joe wilson looks back at his life. newsreel: 25-year-old roger bannister, third from the left. there are some moments of sporting history which become part of the world's history. he's decided this is the right moment. what roger bannister achieved in 195a was like a lunar landing for 20th century sport. bannister‘s old friend and rival chris chataway is in third place, waiting to take over as pacer. to run a mile and stop the clock before it reached four minutes in 195a, this was a magical number, a barrier of human achievement. a feat that would redefine what was humanly possible. and it would fall to a young medical student to achieve it. after two—and—a—half laps, brasher gives way to chataway. bannister, a superb tactician, has suffered some criticism in the past for adopting his
