Kerr’s Mile Record Nominated for World Athletics Award

Josh Kerr’s mile world record and Sabastian Sawe breaking the two-hour barrier at the London Marathon have been nominated for the moment of the year at the World Athletics Awards.
Great Britain’s Kerr, 29, ran a time of three minutes 42.66 seconds at the London Diamond League in July, smashing the 27-year-old record held by Morocco’s Hicham El Guerrouj by almost half a second.
He was cheered on by the home crowd at an electric London Stadium throughout.
In April, Kenya’s Sawe, 31, became the first athlete to run a competitive marathon in under two hours in another historic moment for the sport.
