Linden Hall has continued her record-breaking ways by smashing the Australian women's mile mark at the London Diamond League meet.
Drawing inspiration from compatriot Joseph Deng's new 800m record set two days earlier in Monaco, Hall clocked four minutes 21.40 seconds, stripping more than one second off the 11-year-old mark set by Lisa Corrigan.
Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands claimed the win in 4:14.71 at the London Olympic Stadium on Sunday night (Monday morning AEST).
"So happy to knock off the record today," said the 27-year-old Hall, who also bettered the national 1500m mark in May.
"Once we heard it was going to be a mile in London we decided to target it in the hope of breaking the record.
