In a groundbreaking performance, Sabastian Sawe from Kenya clinched victory at the London Marathon 2026 with a stunning world record time of 1:59:30. This remarkable achievement marks Sawe as the first athlete to officially complete a marathon in under two hours, surpassing the previous record by 65 seconds. Sawe, who also won the marathon last year, has now etched his name in history by breaking the record previously held by the late Kelvin Kiptum, who set a time at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. Notably, Sawe's time is also 10 seconds quicker than the unofficial record set by Eliud Kipchoge in 2019, which was not recognized due to the conditions under which it was achieved. This victory not only solidifies Sawe's status as a top marathon runner but also raises the bar for future competitors in the sport.
