    Feels like the biggest WR in sports in decades?

    And by that margin?? In London?? And the runner-up was also sub 2??

    Extraordinary.

  2. Historic. One of the final big barriers in the sport up there with Bannister’s first sub-4 mile.

    He ran 10 seconds faster than Kipchoge’s artificial run that was set on a perfect course and rotating pacers. One of the greatest athletic achievements ever.

  3. “The runner-up on Sunday, Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha, ran 1:59:41 in his marathon debut.”

    Pretty crazy that the runner up did it under 2 hours on his debut. Well done all around.

  4. That’s crazy. I wonder why it says unofficial concerning the time in the article. Maybe it needs to be verified.

  5. People have won marathons by riding in a car or taking the subway. Did he run all the way?

  6. 👏 Well Done, Now Have The Winner Get A Nice Pint 🍺 To Celebrate Those Aching 👣.
