Eliud Kipchoge first to dip under 2 hours for marathon.
Eliud Kipchoge has become the first athlete to run a marathon in less than two hours, although it will not count as a world record.
Kipchoge was supported by 36 pacemakers who accompanied him in alternating groups, one of the reasons the IAAF will not ratify the time as a world record.Running at a consistent average pace of 2:50 minutes per kilometer , Kipchoge was 11 seconds ahead of schedule halfway through his run. Jim Ratcliffe, founder of the chemicals company backing the attempt, exchanged high-fives with Kipchoge.
It was his second attempt at breaking the two-hour barrier, after missing out by 26 seconds at a similar event on the Formula One track in Monza, Italy, in May 2017. Long-time coach and mentor, Patrick Sang, a former Olympic and world steeplechase silver medalist, said it was"really exciting."
