Show Notes
Kiwi middle-distance runner James Preston has made a bit of history.
He’s broken Sir Peter Snell’s national 800-metre record of 1:44.3 seconds — Preston ran it in 1:44.04 in Germany.
That eclipsed the longest-standing New Zealand athletics record in the books and set a qualifying time for the Paris Olympics.
James Preston joined Mike Hosking.
