FILE - In this March 5, 1974, file photo, Dr. Roger Bannister, 45, looks back as he displays a photo of him made at Iffley, England on May 6, 1954 when he smashed the four-minute-mile barrier to clock a new record of 3:59 on a cinder track. Bannister, the first runner to break the 4-minute barrier in the mile, has died. He was 88. Bannister’s family said in a statement that he died peacefully on Saturday, March 3, 2018, in Oxford “surrounded by his family who were as loved by him, as he was loved by them.” (AP Photo/File)
