A sensation in the world of athletics. Kelvin Kiptum has just dethroned Eliud Kipchoge by breaking the world record for the distance. It happened at the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, October 08, with a time of 2h00''35. The 23-year-old Kenyan thus becomes the first man to run under 2h01min. Kipchoge's previous record was 2h01'09''.
"I'm so happy, I wasn't prepared, even though I knew I could beat the event record," Kelvin Kiptum told NBC Chicago. When I saw that I was doing well, I thought I could go under 2 hours, but unfortunately I didn't succeed. I'm very happy, I didn't have the world record in mind today." His compatriot Benson Kipruto finished 2nd in 2h0'4"02. Belgian Bashir Abdi completed the podium in 2h04"32.
