Nike spent millions on “Breaking2,” an attempt to break the 2 hour marathon by Eliud Kipchoge.
Kipchoge did it in Nikes in 2019, but it was with lazers and pacemakers. It didn’t count.
Today, 2 men do it officially. Both in adidas. The hits keep coming.
THE FIRST MAN IN HISTORY TO BREAK 2 HOURS IN A MARATHON!!!🤯🤯🤯
Sabastian Sawe 🇰🇪 has just shattered the World Record at the London Marathon, running 1:59:30!!!
He makes history as the first man to officially break 2 hours in the marathon.
Yomif Kejelcha 🇪🇹 in his debut ran 1:59:41 to become 2nd fastest alltime, while Jacob Kiplimo 🇺🇬 finished in 2:00:28.
All under the previous World Record.
On August 31, 1978, 17-year-old Uhuru Kenyatta delivered a heartfelt tribute at the state funeral of his father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi.
Standing somberly beside Mama Ngina as Kenya mourned its founding president, Uhuru’s presence marked both personal grief and a national turning point toward Daniel arap Moi’s presidency. Decades later as Kenya’s 4th President, he often echoed his father’s vision of unity, peace, and fighting poverty and disease.
That day shaped both his life and the nation’s collective memory.
