Great Britain’s Josh Kerr broke Mo Farah’s world two-mile indoor record as he won at the Millrose Games in New York.<\/b><\/p>\n
World 1500m gold medallist Kerr ran eight minutes 0.67 seconds to beat Farah’s mark of 8:03.40 from 2015.<\/p>\n
“It was always going to be really tough, small margins,” Kerr, 26, said.<\/p>\n
Kerr’s fellow Scot Laura Muir set a new British indoor record as she won the women’s two-mile race after Ethiopia’s Medina Eisa was disqualified.<\/p>\n
Eisa was first home in New York but cut in too early on the opening lap.<\/p>\n
Muir, 30, was promoted from second to first after finishing in nine minutes and 4.84 seconds.<\/p>\n
The Olympic 1500m silver medallist, who won the Wanamaker Mile at last year’s Millrose Games, will look to win the world indoor title in Glasgow next month.<\/p>\n
In the men’s two-mile race, Kerr charged at the finish to defeat Grant Fisher, who set an American national record of 8:03.62.<\/p>\n
Farah set the previous world indoor best at Birmingham nine years ago.<\/p>\n
“I had to roll with the punches at the start of my career – pretty good but not world class,” said Kerr. <\/p>\n
“And then to be world class and now world champion… I’m having fun with it, creating big goals to get myself out the door and prove I’m not all talk.”<\/p>\n
Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas set a new world record in the women’s 60m hurdles.<\/p>\n
Charlton clocked 7.67 seconds in the hurdles to shave 0.01 off the previous world record set by Sweden’s Susanna Kallur 16 years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
