Kerr sets mile world record; Hodgkinson misses 800m attempt

Josh Kerr achieved a world record time of 3:42.66 in the mile at the Diamond League event in London on July 28, breaking Hicham El Guerrouj's previous record set in 1999. The British runner stated that the moment was overwhelming and acknowledges the hard work from his team. Meanwhile, Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson ran the women's 800m in 1:56.21 but failed to break the longstanding world record of 1:53.28, which has stood since 1983. Hodgkinson's performance was affected by a training incident that left her with injuries. She plans to attempt the record again at the European Championships next month.
