00:01History has been made at the London Marathon where Sebastian Swawi became the first man to officially break the two
00:07-hour marathon barrier.
00:09The Kenyan star stormed to victory in one hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds, shattering the world record by more
00:16than a minute in a landmark moment for the sport.
00:18He wasn't alone. Yomif Kajersha also finished under two hours in his marathon debut, while Jacob Kinlimo crossed in two
00:29hours and 28 seconds, faster than the previous world record.
00:34Swawi's achievement surpasses even the unofficial sub-two-hour run by Ulij Kijogl in 2019, making this the first time
00:44the barrier has fallen in an official race.
