Kenyan marathon runner Sebastian Sawe has reportedly delivered a historic performance at the London Marathon, where he is said to have shattered the marathon world record.

According to the report, he became the first man to complete a marathon in under two hours in this event, a milestone that has attracted major global attention in athletics.

Sawe, who went into the race as one of the top favourites, is said to have finished in an incredible time of 1:59:30.

This performance is reported to have broken the previous world record of 2:00:35, which was held by the late Kenyan marathoner Kelvin Kiptum, who set that mark at the Chicago Marathon.

If confirmed in official records, this would represent one of the most dramatic improvements in marathon history.

What makes the race even more remarkable is that the second-place finisher also produced a groundbreaking time. Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha reportedly finished in 1:59:41, also going under the two-hour barrier.

This achievement would make him the first Ethiopian athlete to reach such a milestone, highlighting just how fast the race conditions were on the day.

The event took place at the London Marathon, which is known for attracting some of the strongest long-distance runners in the world.

If these times are officially verified, this race will be remembered as one of the fastest marathon competitions ever recorded, with multiple athletes breaking what was once considered an impossible barrier in distance running.
