A sub 2 hour #marathon has been a long time dream

It just happened in #London

#Kenya's #SabastianSawe

He just made sports #history

1 hour, 59 minutes, 30 seconds 😲

2nd place was also sub 2 hour!

#Ethiopia's #YomifKejelcha: 1:59:41

*And* 3rd place #Uganda’s #JacobKiplimo broke the previous record with 2:00:28 (2:00:35 set by the late great #KelvinKiptum at the 2023 Chicago marathon)

The weather was perfect
