THere are two supreme accomplishments/prizes in the running world:

1. The first sub 4 minutes mile: This was achieved by Roger Banister some 72 year ago. I remeber it well. I was still in school. The event was big news in the wotld..

2. The first sub 2 hour marathon. This was achieved by two runners in London just the other day. The record was 1 hour 59 minutes and 30 seconds. Big news was broacasted all over the world. Apparently, technlogy of running shoes design played a big part. 

I wonder what will be the next big sports news?
