  • All Time Men's World Ranking Leader
    All Time Men’s World Ranking Leader EVER WONDER WHO the overall best performers have been in our authoritative World Rankings for men, which began with the 1947 season? Stats Editor Jim Rorick has pulled together all kinds of numbers for you, scoring the annual Top 10s on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. First, in a by-event compilation, you’ll find the leaders in the categories of Most Points, Most Rankings, Most No. 1s and The Top U.S. Scorers (in the World Rankings, not the U.S. Rankings). Following that are the stats on an all-events basis. All the data is as of the end of the 2019 season, including a significant number of recastings based on the many retests that were carried out on old samples and resulted in doping positives.

  • The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1,338 Athletes As at 27 April 2014)
    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1,338 athletes as at 27 April 2014) No country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-four-minute mile than the USA. Duing the 2014 indoor season in that country 48 athletes broke four minutes and the US total of sub- four-minute milers is now approaching the 450 mark. Elsewhere, even the distant past eventually yields its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later ! There are now 17 sets of brothers, including five sets of twins, and five sets of fathers and sons who have broken four minutes. The most recent contributor to this family tradition is John Coghlan, son of Eamonn Coghlan. No grandfathers and grandsons as yet ! Performances listed in this Register represent the first occasion on which the athlete ran sub-four- minutes for the mile, followed by the all-time personal best if there was a subsequent improvement. Almost 60 per cent of the 1,338 athletes listed have not bettered their first Sub-4 performance, though some of those from the more recent years will obviously do so eventually. Performances listed in tenths-of-a-second were recorded manually; it may be that some of these were also automatically recorded and the figures not made public, but as they mostly date back 30 years or more it is very unlikely that such data will ever come to light. The standard middle- distance event in international competition has for more than a century been the 1500 metres, and but for this there would certainly be twice as many sub-four-minute milers as there actually are.
