Kenyan athlete Eliud Kipchoge succeeded in breaking the two-hour barrier for a marathon in Vienna on October 12. He ran the distance of 26.2 miles (just over 42 kilometres) in one hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds.

His existing world record, the two hours, one minute and 39 seconds he achieved in Berlin in 2018, still stands because the Vienna run was not in an open competition and involved 41 athletes running as pacemakers. Nevertheless, the Kenyan runner still said that the feat had made history.
