Kenya's Sabastian Sawe made history on Sunday by becoming the first runner to officially break the two-hour barrier in the London Marathon, finishing in an astonishing 1:59:30. This monumental achievement came during a fierce competition against Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, who also finished under two hours with a time of 1:59:41. Sawe's remarkable performance not only retained his London crown but also shattered the previous world record by 65 seconds, which was set by the late Kelvin Kiptum in Chicago in 2023 at 2:00:35. Sawe wore the new Adidas Pro Evo 3 supershoe, designed to enhance performance, as he led a group of runners past the halfway mark in 1:00:29. This race marks a significant milestone in marathon running, as both Sawe and Kejelcha achieved times that had previously only been seen in controlled environments. The previous record for a sub-two-hour marathon was held by Eliud Kipchoge, who completed the feat in October 2019, but that time was not ratified due to specific conditions of the event.
