🚨JACOB KIPLIMO RECLAIMS THE HALF MARATHON WORLD RECORD 🚨
🇺🇬 Jacob Kiplimo returned to the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon (the same course where he first made history in 2021) and broke the half marathon world record AGAIN with 57:20 victory.
He took 10 seconds off the previous record held by Yomif Kejelcha (57:30).
Note: Kiplimo had clocked an even faster 56:42 in Barcelona last year, but it was not ratified due to his proximity to the pace car during the race.
The pace car kept its distance today and there were no pacemakers.
His splits:
5km – 13:28 (13:28)
10km – 27:00 (13:32)
15km – 40:52 (13:52)
20km – 54:23 (13:31)
21.1km – 57:20 (2:57)
That's an average of 4:22 per mile for 13.1 miles 🔥
🔜 Kiplimo is getting ready for the London Marathon next month.
