Eliud Kipchoge becomes first person to break two-hour marathon time

The Telegraph  

Beating his chest triumphantly as he crossed the finish line barely out of breath, Eliud Kipchoge knew he had provided proof. Irrespective of any misgivings surrounding the circumstances of his time trial run in Vienna on Saturday morning, Kipchoge had managed something truly astonishing - something that will go down in the history of man’s greatest achievements. The chemical company Ineos, owned by Britain’s richest man Jim Ratcliffe, had spent a reported £15 million on the event and every element was conducted with such military precision it was impossible not to be impressed. From the Prater park road which was relaid in recent weeks, to the bright green grid projected by laser from the pacing car and ensuring a near-perfect even speed; from the flawless mid-run changeovers in pacemaker personnel, to every steward being equipped with a broom to sweep away any falling leaves; from the meteorologists who narrowed down an initial eight-day window to a precise 8.15am start time, to sending Kipchoge’s used bottles to a nutritionist for in-race analysis.
