Track's oldest record broken
« on: September 04, 2009, 02:55:38 PM »
BRUSSELS (AP) -- A Kenyan quartet has beaten the oldest world record in athletics -- edging the 32-year-old 4x1500 meter mark of West Germany.

William Biwott, Gideon Gathimba, Geoffrey Rono and Augustine Choge set a time of 14 minutes 36.23 seconds at the Van Damme Memorial on Friday, just within the mark of of 4:38.8 the West Germans set in 1977.

The relay distance is never run at major championships and very rarely at big meets like the Golden League.

In case u think is anti distance bias on my part, I hate sprint medleys and those kinds of obscure, circa 1900 races that NO ONE cares about.
