In order to qualify to run the 100 meter dash in the Olympics and represent the United States, a sprinter must qualify to run in the U.S. Olympic trials which means you have to run a qualifying time in order to be eligible to participate in the trials. The qualifying time must be a result of an electric timer (accutrack time) no hand held times are allowed for qualification for this event. Then you have to place in the top three in the finals of the 100 in the trials in order to quaify to represent the U.S. in the 100 meters in the Olympics.
The 1500 meter run has been a part of the Modern Olympics since they began in 1896. The first gold medalist in the 1500 meter run was Teddy Flack of Australia in a time of 4:33.2.
There are roughly 1600 meters in a miles, so your 1500 meter time multiplied by 1600/1500, or 16/15, would give you a mile time. For example, a 6:00 1500 time would be a 6:24 mile.
The mile run is not an Olympic event. The closest one is the 1500 meter run, which is 0.932 mile. At the time I write this ... end of July 2012 ... I don't know what will happen at London. The current Olympic record for that event was set at Sydney in 2000 by Noah Ngeny of Kenya, who ran 1500 meters in 3:32.07 .
In the 2012 Olympics Usain Bolt won the 100 Meter with a time of 9.6, a new Olympic record.

1 mile equal 1609,344 m. The conversion is only approximated because the man is not only an instrument and the relation is not absolute linear: time for 1500 m = 1500 X time for 1 mile/1609,344
