The 1 Kilometer run is not an Olympic event in Track and Field. The current world record for the men's 1 kilometer is held by Noah Ngeny from Kenya. His time is 2:11:96. He ran on September 5, 1999.
1500m
OR stands for Olympic Record, this is the best performance in the event that has occured in the Olympics
Breaking a world record at the Olympics means you are breaking the world record, not just the Olympic record. Olympic records are specific to the Olympics event itself, whereas world records are recognized as the best performance in the world for that particular event.
Answer: Robert Baker for the USA in 3:58.70Additionally, I want to point out that a world record is the best mark ever recorded in the event. Olympic records, regional records, and meet records are only sub-categorizing records based on a given circumstance, notably location.Thus a decathlete's performance in the 1500 meter run is not distinguished into a separate world record bracket because it's circumstance is different. At best you could distinguish the performance as the best mark in that given event ever during a decathlon.
A decathlon is a two day, ten event track and field competition. The events are 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500m.
Yes it is a Olympic event :)
The women's 5000 meter run has been an Olympic event since the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The Olympic record is held by Gabriela Szabo of Romania at 14:40.79 set at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
1km = 1000m so the 1500m only
