Sebastian Sawe breaks two-hour marathon barrier in London

0:00It was a record-breaking day in London yesterday with the two-hour barriers smashed officially for the first time in the city's marathon. More people than ever are thought to have participated in the 46th rendition of the major race. From Daddy Pig to Dinosols, the 47th London Marathon did not disappoint, with the most wicked runners braving the sun, for charity, personal best, or simply to prove they could. And there was no shortage of records being broken. Can you run a Sebastian Sarway, re-wrote the history books, winning in one hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds? Absolutely incredible. I've never seen anything like that. The fastest in history and in proper marathon conditions. A milestone moment many are already comparing to this. Roger Bannister's first four-minute mile in 1954. And in 2019, Elliott Kipchoggi broke the two-hour barrier, but not in a competitive

1:08race like this. And Sarway is delighted. It has been a good race to me today. Oh, I'll record. And I'm happy. Finishing shortly behind Sarway was Ethiopia's Tickets Asifa, who made back-to-back wins, breaking up own record by nine seconds. But beyond the elite, there were some personal triumphs too. I felt like I was dying while I was doing it, but yeah, I feel happy now I stand. A lot of training, a lot of rainy, dark nights, so just, yeah, pure emotion coming over the finish line. These are happy tears, so yeah. And now the miles are done, the celebrations are just getting started.
