Sawe Breaks 2-Hour Marathon Barrier

0:00It's April 30th. This is Global News Today, driven by AI tracking the world in real time. Kenyan marathon legend Sebastian Saw just shattered the impossible by breaking the two-hour barrier at the London Marathon. He clocked 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds, smashing the old men's world record by 65 seconds. Back home in Nairobi, he got a hero's welcome with a water cannon salute for his plane. Here this week, Saw flew into massive cheers from his parents in sports ministers Salim and Varuya, who called it a huge win for Kenya. The runner, already the defending champ from his Valencia victory last year at two hours, two minutes and five seconds, stepped out wearing a traditional victory wreath. Folks win wild, traditional dancers, saying his praises as he hopped into a luxury government ride. His parents always knew he was special. Mama remembers him sprinting even during bath time, while dad watched the race at his brother's place and screamed so loud he could barely swallow afterward.

1:03Saway's uncle and the Olympic runner got him into pro racing and the discipline shows his dad says he's already eyeing and even faster time. Officials plan a big celebration for him Thursday. What a story of grit turning dreams real. Saway is not stopping here, and Kenya's marathon dominance keeps rolling strong.
