The world record in the mile run is the best mark set by a male or female runner in the middle-distance track and field event. The IAAF is the official body which oversees the records. Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men's record holder with his time of 3:43.13, while Svetlana Masterkova has the women's record of 4:12.56. Since 1976, the mile is the only non-metric distance recognized by the IAAF for record purposes. Accurate times for the mile run (1.609344 km) were not recorded until after 1850, when the first precisely measured running tracks were built. Foot racing had become popular in England by the 17th century, when footmen would race and their masters would wager on the result. By the 19th century "pedestrianism", as it was called, had become extremely popular and the best times recorded in the period were by professionals. Even after professional foot racing died out, it was not until 1915 that the professional record of 4:12¾ (set by Walter George in 1886) was surpassed by an amateur. Progression of the mile record accelerated in the 1930s as newsreel coverage greatly popularized the sport, making stars out of milers such as Jules Ladoumègue, Jack Lovelock, and Glenn Cunningham. In the 1940s, Swedes Arne Andersson and Gunder Hägg lowered the record to just over four minutes (4:01.4) while racing was curtailed during World War II in the combatant countries. After the war, John Landy of Australia and Britain's Roger Bannister vied to be the first to break the fabled four-minute mile barrier. Roger Bannister did it first on May 6, 1954, and John Landy followed 46 days later. By the end of the 20th century, the record had been lowered to the time of 3:43.13 run by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999. On the women's side, the first sub-5:00 mile was achieved by Britain's Diane Leather 23 days after Bannister's first sub-4:00 mile. However, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) did not recognize women's records for the distance until 1967, when Anne Rosemary Smith of Britain ran 4:37.0. The current women's world record is 4:12.56 by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia, set on August 14, 1996. ==Men== #> The chart is clipped at 3:20 (200 seconds), and magnified by 3 (three pixels height equal 1 second) <# ImageSize = width:700 height:300 # The width can be changed without much harm (remember to change the PlotArea below too) PlotArea = width:650 height:280 left:25 bottom:20 DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:1850 till:2000 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:10 start:1850 Colors= id:grid value: gray(0.5) LineData= width: 0.1 color: grid from: start till: end atpos: 30 from: start till: end atpos: 60 from: start till: end atpos: 90 from: start till: end atpos: 120 from: start till: end atpos: 150 from: start till: end atpos: 180 from: start till: 01/01/1960 atpos: 210 from: start till: 01/01/1960 atpos: 240 from: start till: end atpos: 270 TextData= pos:(0,30) text: "3:30" pos:(0,60) text: "3:40" pos:(0,90) text: "3:50" pos:(0,120) text: "4:00" pos:(0,150) text: "4:10" pos:(0,180) text: "4:20" pos:(0,210) text: "4:30" pos:(0,240) text: "4:40" pos:(0,270) text: "4:50" TextData= fontsize: M pos:(520,250) textcolor: blue text: Amateurs pos:(520,220) textcolor: red text: Professionals pos:(520,190) textcolor: orange text: IAAF LineData= width: 0.2 color: red at: 26/07/1852 tillpos: 204 at: 28/09/1857 tillpos: 204 at: 12/07/1858 tillpos: 189 at: 27/10/1860 tillpos: 186.75 at: 11/07/1863 tillpos: 185.25 at: 23/04/1864 tillpos: 181.5 at: 19/08/1865 tillpos: 171.75 at: 19/08/1865 tillpos: 171.75 at: 14/05/1881 tillpos: 168.6 at: 23/08/1886 tillpos: 158.25 LineData= width: 0.2 color: blue at: 02/09/1852 tillpos: 276.0 at: 03/11/1858 tillpos: 255.0 at: 15/11/1858 tillpos: 255.0 at: 24/11/1859 tillpos: 240.0 at: 23/05/1862 tillpos: 219.0 at: 10/03/1868 tillpos: 208.8 at: 03/04/1868 tillpos: 206.4 at: 31/03/1873 tillpos: 205.8 at: 30/05/1874 tillpos: 198.0 at: 19/06/1875 tillpos: 193.5 at: 16/08/1880 tillpos: 189.6 at: 03/06/1882 tillpos: 178.2 at: 21/06/1884 tillpos: 175.2 at: 26/08/1893 tillpos: 173.4 at: 06/07/1895 tillpos: 171.0 at: 28/08/1895 tillpos: 166.8 at: 27/05/1911 tillpos: 154.2 LineData= width: 0.2 color: orange at: 31/05/1913 tillpos: 163.2 at: 16/07/1915 tillpos: 157.8 at: 23/08/1923 tillpos: 151.2 at: 04/10/1931 tillpos: 147.6 at: 15/07/1933 tillpos: 142.8 at: 16/06/1934 tillpos: 140.4 at: 28/08/1937 tillpos: 139.2 at: 01/07/1942 tillpos: 138.6 at: 10/07/1942 tillpos: 138.6 at: 04/09/1942 tillpos: 133.8 at: 01/07/1943 tillpos: 127.8 at: 18/07/1944 tillpos: 124.8 at: 17/07/1945 tillpos: 124.2 at: 06/05/1954 tillpos: 118.2 at: 21/06/1954 tillpos: 114.0 at: 19/07/1957 tillpos: 111.6 at: 06/08/1958 tillpos: 103.5 at: 27/01/1962 tillpos: 103.2 at: 17/11/1964 tillpos: 102.3 at: 09/06/1965 tillpos: 100.8 at: 17/07/1966 tillpos: 93.9 at: 23/06/1967 tillpos: 93.3 at: 17/05/1975 tillpos: 93.0 at: 12/08/1975 tillpos: 88.2 at: 17/07/1979 tillpos: 87.0 at: 01/07/1980 tillpos: 86.4 at: 19/08/1981 tillpos: 85.59 at: 26/08/1981 tillpos: 85.2 at: 28/08/1981 tillpos: 81.99 at: 27/07/1985 tillpos: 78.96 at: 05/09/1993 tillpos: 73.17 at: 07/07/1999 tillpos: 69.39 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mile run world record progression」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
