塞巴斯蒂安·索韦在2024年伦敦马拉松上打破了马拉松世界纪录，成为第一个在两小时内完成比赛的选手，成绩为1:59:30。这比凯尔文·基普图姆之前的纪录快了一分钟多。埃利乌德·基普乔格之前跑过两小时以内的马拉松，但由于受控条件，该成绩不符合记录资格。索韦的成就标志着在正式比赛中首次出现两小时以内的成绩。首次参赛的约米夫·凯杰尔查表现出色，以1:59:41的成绩获得第二名，他也打破了两小时大关。雅各布·基普利莫以2:00:28的成绩获得第三名，进一步证明了比赛的竞争水平非常高。索韦表达了他的喜悦，称这是一“值得纪念的一天”，因为他在整个比赛过程中都感觉良好，并对他的最终成绩感到兴奋。

Sabastian Sawe made history at the London Marathon by becoming the first athlete to run a sub-two-hour marathon in a competitive race.

The 30-year-old Kenyan crossed the line to win in one hour 59 minutes 30 seconds, more than one minute faster than the late Kelvin Kiptum's previous record of 2:00:35, set in 2023.

The great Eliud Kipchoge became the first man to run a marathon in under two hours in 2019, but that was not record-eligible as it was held under controlled conditions.

Already on world record pace as he crossed the halfway mark in 1:00:29, Sawe was able to speed up over the second half of the race to run even faster than Kipchoge's time.

Sawe made his decisive move before the final 10km, with only debutant Yomif Kejelcha able to cover his surge off the front.

Remarkably, Kejelcha, making his marathon debut, became the second man to run under two hours in race conditions, finishing runner-up in 1:59:41.

Half marathon world record holder Jacob Kiplimo also crossed the line faster than Kiptum's former record, completing the podium in 2:00:28.

Sawe, speaking on BBC TV, said: "I am feeling good. I am so happy. It is a day to remember for me."

"We started the race well. Approaching finishing the race, I was feeling strong. Finally reaching the finish line, I saw the time, and I was so excited."
