1954 Composite photograph of the two men who had run sub-four minute miles as they were set to square off in Vancouver in what was being billed as the "Dream Race" at the time but would go down in history as the "Miracle Mile." Jack Landy from Australia and Roger Bannister of England both ran a sub-four minute mile but it would be Bannister cementing his legacy as the greatest in the world. A rare image from NBC promoting the race and in great shape.
