Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe makes history at the London Marathon by becoming the first man to officially break the two-hour barrier in a marathon. Multiple outlets report that Sawe runs a new world record, finishing more than a minute faster than the previous mark. The reports agree that the performance is recognised as an official time, meaning it is recorded under the marathon’s governing standards rather than as an unofficial or exhibition result. The feat is described consistently across sources: Sawe is the first athlete ever to go under two hours in a marathon and he does so in London. Coverage emphasizes the scale of the improvement, noting that he not only crosses the sub-two-hour threshold but also shatters the existing world record by a clear margin. Overall, the articles portray the result as a landmark moment in long-distance running, with the London event serving as the stage for the first officially recorded sub-two-hour marathon.
