Australian sets sub four minute mile at Empire Games
Elliott won the British Empire Games mile in 3 minutes 59 seconds despite a headwind and a spike wound. He ran the second half in 2 03.4, matching Landy’s era but not overtaking a countryman. Elliott became the first to run under four minutes more than six times, surpassing Landy who had six sub four minute miles before retiring in 1956. The event capped a day featuring the mile and a Sydney team effort that set a world mark at 45.6 seconds in a women's relay.
