Sawe Breaks Two‑Hour Marathon, Homecoming in Nairobi

Kenyan World Marathon Record holder Sebastian Sawe landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after his historic London Marathon finish. The 31‑year‑old was greeted by a roaring crowd, family, and a water‑cannon salute, as his parents, who drove six hours to be there, joined the festivities.

Sawe’s 1:59:30 time eclipses the previous record of 2:00:35, marking a new benchmark for marathon running. He plans to compete again in the autumn, hinting at an even faster finish. catcross.biz
