Sabastian Sawe made history at the London Marathon on Sunday, crossing the finish line in an unprecedented 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds. This remarkable performance shattered the previous men's world record by 65 seconds.
Sawe, a decorated Kenyan athlete with previous wins at the 2025 London and Berlin Marathons, credited the massive London crowds for providing the energy needed to maintain the record pace.
Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha finished second, just 11 seconds behind Sawe, while Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo took third place. This officially marks the first time the two-hour barrier has been broken in a sanctioned marathon event. *The Associated Press contributed to this report.*
