´óÏó´«Ã½

Kenya's Olympic Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge has told the ´óÏó´«Ã½ a world record would make him complete. In 2017 at the Monza Formula One track, under conditions that wouldn’t count for world record purposes, he clocked two hours and 25 seconds. That’s more than two and a half minutes quicker than the official world record. Kipchoge, currently the world’s best marathon runner, had come closer than any man in history to a sub two hour marathon. Now he wants a place in the official record books and recognition by the sport's world governing body.
