Wilson Kipsang of Kenya ran the marathon in 2:03:23. He is the fastest marathoner in the history of mankind. In Berlin on Sept 25, he broke the record set by compatriot Patrick Makau, also at the Berlin Marathon in 2011. Technically, had Kipsang run 3 minutes and 24 seconds faster he would be the first human to run a marathon in less than two hours.
That is the Everest of marathon — an achievement that was never thought possible before. Will Kipsang be the person to break the sub 2-hour mark? He said he could run faster.
Athletes are running faster, jumping further and soaring higher. Nothing is impossible now.
