BRITISH COMMONWEALTH ATHLETICS IN 1955
MIDDLE AND LONG DISTANCE RUNNING STANDARD GOES UP, LITTLE PROGRESS IN THE FIELD EVENTS
By “RECORDER”
British Commonwealth and Empire standards in the middle and long distance running events continued on the upgrade in 1955, a vastly improved Australian and New Zealand standard contributing as much as the steadily improving standard in the British Isles.
It may now be said that Britain has more outstanding distance runners than any other country in the world and Australia comes third in this respect after Hun- Kary.
A noteworthy feature of 1986 52.1 Emne athletics was the that 30 athletes broke the once magle figures of 4 minutes D sponsis for the Mile. Had the great Jack Lovelock competed In 1955 instead of 1935, he would
only have fuled to lead the wed in this event but would Have been ranked only 10th in rate Currizterwealth and Empire
