The women's Olympic record is 3:53.96 held by Paula Ivan of Romania at the 1988 Games in Seoul.
The record for running 880 yards, which is equivalent to half a mile, was set by Johnny Gray in 1985 with a time of 1:43.0. This distance was commonly contested before the metric mile became the standard in track and field. While this record is no longer officially recognized in most competitions, it remains a significant achievement in middle-distance running history.
