London Marathon Sees Performances

SWR Aktuell London 16d16d Impact 10

He improved the previous 2023 record held by Kelvin Kiptum by 65 seconds. The performance was 7 seconds faster than the prior mark held by Kelvin Kiptum. Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha finished in second place with a time of 2:01:41. The achievement occurred despite hot conditions and a fast pace maintained through the halfway mark. Observers noted the feat was unexpected given the history of near misses on this specific course. The broadcaster noted that while London is not as fast as Berlin or Chicago, this performance represents a major human achievement. The winner achieved the feat during an official race in London, unlike Eliud Kipchoge's non-official 2016 sub-two-hour run in Vienna. Advancements in nutrition and technology contributed to the speed. The winner finished 11 seconds ahead of Sava.
