Great story. Amazed he is sub-4 in the mile with his physique. Must be incredibly dedicated, durable and well-trained.
He doesn't have that supplement-enhanced skin-over-skeleton physique. Yet 3:57 at age 19...wow.
He can yet improve his times by a lot.

All athletics has his 1500m PB as 3:51.3. I can't find any results of a quicker time.
I didn't see his mile PB though.
Still a great run!
3:51.3 is at least 3:48.[/quote]
Wait ... what?
From a fan's perspective, I think Mike Brannigan is the greatest human interest story since Jim Ryun. Mikey is nothing but raw, innocent, untainted talent, uncorrupted by the darker side of modern athletics. I don't care how Mikey Brannigan is the guy!

Temperature was 36°C also! That's 97°F
I wonder what he could run in better conditions with better pacing.
Well we already know he can run at least 3:57/mile or about 3:38-9.
Awesome Mikey!
Why does everyone insist on calling him "Mikey"?
No one is insisting. It's the name he goes by & answers to. My wife's given name is Bertha, but we've always just called her Bertie. If it was good enough for the boy on those Life cereal commercials.....(He likes it! Mikey likes it!)
So, does he pick up a sponsor this week or not? Only 19, still some upside. Seems like a win/win for most any shoe company. He's got to be getting offers, yes?

Paralympics isn't that popular
0/10
You don't know Mike.
Given that 3:57 mile he ran I'd say that's worth a 3:39-3:40 for 1500. But he did probably split like 3:42 en route.
