 Just 46 days later, on 21 June 1954, Bannister's record was broken by his rival Landy in Turku, Finland, with a time of 3 minutes 57.9 seconds, which the IAAF ratified as 3 minutes 58.0 seconds due to the rounding rules then in effect.On 7 August, at the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, B.C., Bannister, running for England, competed against Landy for the first time in a race billed as "The Miracle Mile".They were the only two men in the world to have broken the 4-minute barrier, with Landy still holding the world record.
