During Sunday’s London Marathon, reigning champion Sabastian Sawe of Kenya smashed the world record for the fastest marathon in history by becoming the first runner to officially finish under two hours.
Sawe won the race in one hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. The previous record was held by Kelvin Kiptum at the 2023 Chicago Marathon when he finished in two hours and 35 seconds. This means Sawe broke the record by a whole 65 seconds.
