In Summary
• Kipchoge ran 4.4 laps of a 9.6 kilometre course.
World record holder Eliud Kipchoge has made history by being the first human to run a marathon in under two hours.
Kipchoge crossed the finish line in 1:59:40.
Asked how he felt about running under two hours, he said, "I'm the happiest man. I'm feeling good. It's taken 65 years for a human being to make history. I have tried... It means no man is limited."
"The first kilometres were hard. It needs perserverance. I appreciate the 41 pacemakers for volunteering to do the job. I want to tell Kenyans that anyone can step out of their cocoon."
Kipchoge said he wants to make sports an interesting game where people wake up and run.
