Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe became the first runner in history on Sunday at the London Marathon to complete the marathon distance (42.195 km) in under two hours under regular conditions. The thirty-year-old, defending his title from last year, crossed the finish line with a time of 1:59:30, beating the legendary barrier by 30 seconds. hnonline.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
During the decisive phase of the race, Sawe battled for victory with Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha, who ultimately finished in second place. Sawe's performance represents a historic breakthrough in marathon running, as the two-hour barrier had long been considered practically unattainable under normal racing conditions. irozhlas.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗
The 2026 London Marathon also produced another world record. Ethiopian runner Tigst Assefa won the women's race with a time of 2:15:41, improving her own world record and successfully defending her title from last year. Sawe's achievement thus became one of the most significant moments of this edition of the prestigious British marathon. sport.pravda.sk ↗ sport.cz ↗
