For hundreds of years mankind tried to break a four minute mile.
People tried everything to break the barrier... even had bulls chasing them.
Scientists said it would never be done. They said the human body couldn't survive due to lack of oxygen.
Sports experts said the conditions would have to be absolutely perfect.
Turns out that none of that was true...
