THREE men all under the previous WR 🤯

The 2026 London Marathon will forever go down in history, with the top three men all running under the previous world record of 2:00:35 ‼️

🥇 Sabastian Sawe (1:59:30)
🥈 Yomif Kejelcha (1:59:41 debut)
🥉 Jacob Kiplimo (2:00:28)

No one has been able to surpass Kelvin Kiptum's WR of 2:00:35 set in 2023 - until today 💪

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

You have to feel for Yomif Kejelcha.

One of the sport's great "nearly" men on the track.

Two World Championship silvers in the 10,000 meters.

Always pushing the pace in Diamond Leagues, chasing fast times.

He debuts in 1:59:41, well under the marathon WR.

And finishes 2nd.

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

Kenyan Sebastian Sawe won London Marathon with a 1:59:30 time (first official sub-2hr marathon).

The breakdown is insane:

▫️4:33 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x)

▫️2:49 per KM pace (he did it 42x)

▫️was faster in his second half (59:01) than first half (60:29)

▫️average speed was a ludicrous 13mp/h (21km/h)

▫️the average men’s marathon time for 5km is ~30 mins (Sawe’s 5km pace was 14:10 mins, which he did ~8x)

▫️the world record 10km track run is 26:11 (Sawe’s 10km pace was 28:19 which he did ~4x)

▫️His 100m pace was 17 seconds, which he did 422x

▫️The 21km per hour pace (or 13 miles per hour) isn’t even available on some treadmills

Sawe broke the previous world record by 65 seconds (Kelvin Kiptum ran 2:00:35 in 2023; RIP).

Eliud Kipchoge broke 2-hours in 2019 (1:59:40) but that was a controlled race.

Somewhat insanely, Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha also broke 2 hours (1:59:41) and London Marathon was his first race!!!!

Incredible stuff.
