Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha made headlines on Sunday by breaking the men's half-marathon record in Valencia, Spain. Kejelcha's remarkable performance saw him finish with a time of 57 minutes and 30 seconds, surpassing the previous record set by Ugandan runner Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon, Portugal in 2021 by just one second.
Kejelcha, a former world championship silver medalist in the 10,000 meters, has been a dominant force in long-distance running. He also holds the indoor world record for the mile, a feat he achieved in Boston in 2019.
