Elliott, Cook, Cram and Coe take down the record set by Ponomaryev, Kirov, Malozyemlin and Reshetnyak of the Soviet Union from 1978 by a margin of over four seconds.

In so doing, they set a WR that would last for almost 24 years in this rarely contested event.

Peter Elliott (1:49.14)
Garry Cook (1:46.20)
Steve Cram (1:44.54)
Sebastian Coe (1:44.01)
