Sawe's 1:59:30 in London is the first officially ratified sub-2-hour marathon, breaking the previous record of 2:00:35 set by compatriot Kelvin Kiptum in 2023. Unlike Eliud Kipchoge's 2019 unofficial 1:59:40 in Vienna, Sawe's achievement meets World Athletics regulations for official recognition and homologation.
