3:43.13 — the mile that still hasn’t been beaten🏃🔥

On a warm July night in 1999, at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, Hicham El Guerrouj delivered one of the greatest performances in track history. He ran a mile in 3:43.13—a world record that still stands today.

He started smooth behind the pacers, then took control with 600 meters to go, gliding down the final straight with his trademark precision—shoulders steady, stride light, every step perfectly timed.

Lap by lap, it was poetry in motion: 59 seconds, 1:51 at 800 m, 2:46 at 1,200 m, and a final lap in 57. When he crossed the line, the crowd erupted before the clock even stopped.

More than 25 years later, no one has come closer. That night in Rome remains the gold standard—the mile run to rule them all.👏
