Someone finished a marathon in under 2 hours.
Sabastian Sawe of Kenya has become the first person to break the fabled 2-hour barrier in the marathon.
In a huge moment in sports history, Sawe smashed the men's world record by 65 seconds in winning the London Marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes, 30 seconds on Sunday.
The second-place finisher, Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia, also dipped under 2 hours by crossing the line in 1:59:41 in his first marathon, while Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda broke the previous world-record time -- set by Kenya's Kelvin Kiptum in Chicago in 2023 -- by seven seconds in finishing in 2:00:28.
