Great Britain's Josh Kerr broke the world record for the mile at the London Diamond League, ending a record that had stood for more than 25 years. The run comes as a significant moment for British athletics, cementing Kerr's status among the sport's elite middle-distance runners on home soil at London Stadium.

Kerr surpassed the previous record, held by Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj since 1999, by half a second. The performance, described as "unbelievable" by commentators, was set during the London Diamond League meeting.
