Sam Rouse, 15, a New Zealander track and field athlete, has made a new history. He clocked 3:58:35 at a competition held in Auckland on Sunday, breaking the sub-four-minute mile mark. Global media reported that he is the youngest athlete to break the record of one mile (1,609 meters) in less than four minutes. 바카라

In the race, Ruth crossed the finish line just behind Sam Tanner, a pacemaker who has competed in two Olympics. The speed is about 24.3 kilometers per hour. She set this record 24 days before her 16th birthday. She broke the record of 3:58:07 (then 16 years old) set by Jakob Ingebritsen of Norway, the youngest person to hold the record. "It was my favorite goal ever achieved," Ruth said in an interview after the race. "So many people came and cheered for me, and it was all the more special because I was able to enjoy this moment together. I prepared perfectly for this race, and I'm really happy to get the result."

Ruth clocked 4:01:72 at the Cooks Classic held in Hwangganui, New Zealand in January, and is already ready to cross the four-minute mark. She has become a world-class rising star as she broke through the mark on her own in just two months.

Breaking the four-minute wall in a mile event has become a symbolic goal for middle-distance runners since Roger Bannister (England) first achieved it in 1954.
