New Delhi, April 26 -- Kenya's Sabastian Sawe became the first man on planet to win the London Marathon under the two-hour barrier on Sunday in a new world record in an highly competitive race. Before Sawe, no other athlete had won a marathon under the two-hour mark. Sawe thus broke the record previously held by fellow Kelvin Kiptum, who completed the Chicago Marathon in 2:00:35 in 2023. The 30-year-old Sawe crossed the finishing line in 1:59:30, saving 1 minute and 5 seconds off Kiptum's record.
