The impossible has been made possible at the London Marathon. A feat that looked out of reach for at least a few more years has now been achieved. For us marathoners, Sabastian Sawe’s feat was an unforgettable moment to witness — the breaking of the two-hour barrier, not once, but twice in a single race.
It truly felt like history was unfolding in real time. I would call it a race for the ages. Sawe completed the 42.195 km in 1:59:30, just 11 seconds behind was Ethiopia’s debutant Yomif Kejelcha, also under two hours!
