Landy again breaks four minutes in mile at Melbourne
Australian track sensation John Landy ran 3:58.6 at Olympic Park, his third sub four minute mile, second to none in world miling. He hinted at Olympic trials and questioned if the time would suffice for Paris or Melbourne games, while rivals Lincoln and Clarke finished behind. Lincoln clocked 4:00.6 as the crowd roared, with Landy now among a small group of four others to break the four minute barrier, including Bannister and Tabori.
