Two-time Olympic marathon champion; INEOS 1:59 mark not ratified

For 117 years, no person had run a marathon in under two hours under standard race conditions. On Sunday morning in London, two did. Kenya's Sabastian Sawe crossed the finish line on The Mall in 1 hour, 59 minutes, 30 seconds, lopping 65 seconds off the previous world record. Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, running his first marathon ever, finished 11 seconds behind him in 1:59:41.
