Hicham El Guerrouj: an undefeated legend on Mondo track

This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of the longest-standing world records in athletics: that of Hicham El Guerrouj. A true legend, in 1999 he ran a mile in 3:43.40 on the Mondo athletics track.
To this day, only five men have managed to come within three seconds of that record time! El Guerrouj’s race also remains one of the most well-remembered head-to-head middle-distance duels outside of a major championship: find out why in our article.
