Athletics has seen one of the barriers that seemed impossible to overcome fall. For the first time, an athlete has run a marathon in under two hours under normal race conditions. Sabastian Sawe did it, leaving speechless everyone who was waiting at the finish line of the London Marathon, in Saint James's Park, just in front of Buckingham Palace. A titanic feat. Never before had a man run a marathon in under two hours officially, as Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge had done so in 2019 in Vienna but as part of an experiment programmed by the INEOS brand on a closed circuit. Kipchoge had had coaches, support staff, pacemakers, and all sorts of facilities to prove that running under two hours was feasible. He was right. And today, a compatriot of his has proven it.
