Roger Bannister Sub Four Minute Mile
Back in the mid-1990’s, running a four minute mile was said to be impossible. But in 1954, Roger Bannister proved everyone wrong. The Harrow, England native broke the record with an amazing 3 minute and 59.4 second time. Even though his record was beaten just a mere 46 days later, he was one of the world’s most celebrate and respected athletes. His amazing run paved the way for other athletes, and he is always mentioned when new records are broken each year. After his career as a runner, he went on to become a world-renowned neurologist. This amazing photo shows the second Roger crossed the finish line, the shock and excitement apparent on the bystander’s faces. Roger’s facial expression is a mix of exhaustion and excitement as well.
Michael Jordan And His Super Cars
As an extremely successful athlete, it only makes sense that Michael Jordan has many nice things, including luxurious cars. Not only did he collect sports cars, but he also collected and smoked high-end cigars. If his opponents weren’t intimidated by his basketball skills, they sure were when they saw him roll up to the game in a Ferrari or Aston Martin. Michael even had a Ferrari F335 made after his signature shoe, the Air Jordan XIV.
