Ethiopian Kejelcha breaks indoor mile record

Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha broke the world indoor mile record when he clocked three minutes 47.01 seconds during an invitational meet in Boston on Sunday.

The 21-year-old smashed the 22-year-old record of 3:48.45 set by Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj in 1997. Kejelcha had come within one-hundredth of a second of the record when he clocked 3:48.46 at the Millrose Games in New York last month.
