In a groundbreaking achievement for athletics, Sabastian Sawe from Kenya has officially broken the two-hour marathon barrier, finishing the London Marathon in 1:59:30. This historic run not only marks a significant milestone but also breaks the previous men's world record by 65 seconds. Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha finished closely behind in 1:59:41, while Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo took third place with a time of 2:00:28, both also finishing under the former world record of 2:00:35 set by Kelvin Kiptum in Chicago in 2023. Sawe, who wore Adidas’ new Pro Evo 3 supershoe, had aimed for a course or world record and was part of a lead group that crossed the halfway mark in 1:00:29. This remarkable event highlights the evolution of marathon running, with Sawe's achievement being the first officially recognized under two hours, unlike Eliud Kipchoge's previous attempt in 2019, which was not accepted as a world record due to specific conditions.
