Pourquoi c'est important
Running a marathon in under two hours has long been considered the holy grail of marathon running. The sub-two-hour barrier was previously achieved in a controlled 'Breaking2' event by Eliud Kipchoge in 2019, but that was not in official race conditions. This marks the first time the feat has been accomplished in a certified marathon race.
