Marathon under 2 hours: this performance pushes "the limits of human endurance", praises the Kenyan president

Kenyan Sabastian Sawe achieved a historic performance by running the marathon in 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 30 seconds in London, becoming the first man to break the two-hour barrier. Kenyan President William Ruto praised this feat, stating it pushes the limits of human endurance. Sawe broke the previous world record set by Kelvin Kiptum in April 2023. While Kenya is renowned for its long-distance runners, it faces doping issues, with over 140 athletes suspended since 2017.
