00:04Well, first of all, Sebastian, congratulations for this amazing achievement.
00:11I want to say one hour, 59 minutes, 30 seconds.
00:17What does it mean to you?
00:19I think today does mean a lot because running the fastest time in the world is not something easy.
00:38So I'm so happy today.
00:43It's world record, less than two hours.
00:47How are you feeling now, you personally, with yourself?
00:52I'm feeling good.
00:54Yeah.
00:56How is possible a person can be running a marathon for less than two hours?
01:03Because I think nobody in here could ever imagine to do it.
01:07And you did it?
01:07I think it's preparation.
01:11I prepare well.
01:14Despite not knowing today will be a world record for me, I prepare well for this year London
01:22marathon.
01:26And for what it has come to be, it shows that I prepare much better than last year.
01:37And who were you thinking about when you finished the run?
01:41What's the first person you were thinking about when you crossed the...
01:49I was thinking about my family.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Yeah.
01:54I imagine they are now so proud of you.
01:57Yeah, they are so proud of me.
02:01And I think they are waiting me so much.
02:04Have you talked with them?
02:05Not yet.
02:07Not yet.
02:21Not yet.
02:22Yeah.
02:22Not yet.
02:23And he always said that you were going to be the person at the end.
02:26He had a reason.
02:29Have you talked with him?
02:32I have not talked with him.
02:37Maybe went back to Kenya.
02:39Yeah.
02:39I will talk with him.
02:40Yeah.
02:41And what it means to be in a book's history with other names like Kip Tung, like Kichoke,
02:49and now your name is going to be there.
02:51What it means to you?
02:53I think it's so inspiring and it means a lot to me.
02:59I think it is a big achievement for me and it has changed a lot in my career and I'm
03:17so
03:17happy for it.
03:19And when you were running, were you thinking in the record of I need to beat this record
03:26or it was just at the last meters that you were conscious of that?
03:31I think it was the last minute that's where I saw the time and I was really excited to see
03:44it was insane to all record.
03:47Yeah.
03:50I got a colleague in Spain that told me that when you did the marathon in 2024 in Valencia,
03:58you said that it was the happiest day of your life.
04:01Now it's today, the happiest day of your life.
04:04It is again the happiest day of my life.
04:08Another record.
04:09You beat today another record of the happiest day.
04:11Yeah.
04:11And there's been any tough moments during the run today that you struggled a bit or you were…
04:21I think I was well prepared and I didn't feel any part difficult for me.
04:33So I enjoyed the race.
04:34So if you continue 10 kilometers more…
04:38Yeah, it was…
04:40Give it more.
04:41You were ready to continue running.
04:42Yeah.
04:44It was amazing to see you.
04:47As you were talking about your family, that they are so proud of you.
04:52But I've been told that there was a tough moment, that they don't want you to be athlete,
04:58that you may be police or working on other things.
05:02How it was to fight for your dream of being a runner?
05:06Um, I think I remember those times I had problems with tendon injuries and that's the day they were looking
05:29after me saying you better have a government job for police.
05:40But the best moment I had already joined a good company, Adidas company, which is coached
05:54by Claudio Berardelli.
06:00And they supported me that time and they tried all their best, looking after my life.
06:09And I remember, um, I even go try to have a job, but finally it fails.
06:18Then I, they welcomed me back again and they, they, they, they continue supporting me, healing my injury.
06:32And finally I remember 2022, that's the year I went for my first race, which I was basing and finishing,
06:44it was deputing.
06:46And finally I passed and also I won.
06:53And that's the year, my family was not able to say anything, but they were happy.
07:01I imagine this day or whatever it means, I imagine that you want to celebrate it.
07:07How are you going to celebrate this, this special day?
07:10Yeah.
07:11I think.
07:14I will.
07:16With your, with your team that they are so happy with you.
07:20Yeah.
07:20I imagine you are going to celebrate with these guys that support you a lot, right?
07:25Yeah.
07:28And last thing, I wanna, because I don't want to.
07:32Okay, okay, okay.
07:33What is your next target?
07:35What are you thinking?
07:36Or you are just tired that you don't want to think in another thing?
07:40Or you have another target that you are thinking next time or next run is?
07:44I think my next target is to try to run maybe faster than today.
07:55Because for what has come today, it has given me more courage that everything is possible.
08:02And I thank the Adidas company for what they have made for us, the E4-3 shoe.
08:20We just become the best shoe and it has brought the new record for today.
08:32So, for me now, I think I'm ready to run much better than today.
08:43And I think you are gonna chuck on a KDC or your military instrument.
08:47Thank you so much.
08:48You're welcome, thank you.
08:49I'm so sorry for this moment.
08:51No problem, thanks.
08:52Thank you for all your team and congrats for the next.
08:57I hope you will see you getting more records like this.
09:00Thank you, thank you.
09:00Thank you so much, guys.
