Emmanuel Wanyonyi: Teenager shatters road mile world record in first competitive race

Emmanuel Wanyonyi, a teenager, made headlines by breaking the road mile world record in Herzogenaurach, Germany on Saturday. At the age of 19, Wanyonyi set a new record with an impressive time of three minutes and 54.56 seconds during his first competitive race over this distance.

Primarily recognized as an 800-meter runner, Wanyonyi showcased his versatility by achieving this milestone. His talent was evident when he won the silver medal in the men’s 800m at the 2023 World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary.

The previous world road mile record was held by American athlete Hobbs Kessler with a time of 3:56.13. Wanyonyi’s remarkable achievement not only shattered this record but also highlighted his potential as an emerging star in the world of track and field.
