Sawe runs fastest ever marathon
The 30-year-old Kenyan crossed the finish line in an astonishing 1 hour 59 minutes 30 seconds, becoming the first athlete to officially complete a marathon in under two hours. His time was more than a minute faster than the previous world record of 2:00:35 set by the late Kelvin Kiptum in 2023.
Legendary runner Eliud Kipchoge had broken the two-hour mark in 2019 with a time of 1:59:40, but that achievement was not considered an official world record because it was achieved under controlled, non-competitive conditions.
