CNN —Before his life was cut short at the age of 24 in a road accident, Kelvin Kiptum had been intent on achieving even more history in his brief but extraordinary marathon running career. Of the seven fastest marathon times in history, Kiptum owns three of them. “I offer my deepest condolences to his young family.”Kiptum stands next to a timer displaying his marathon world record in Chicago. He raced his first marathon in Valencia two days after his 23rd birthday and within the space of a year had become the world record holder. “I will get close to the sub-two barrier, so why not aim to break it?” Kiptum had said in November.

CNN —Kenya’s Kelvin Kiptum broke the men’s marathon world record in Chicago on Sunday, becoming the first person to record a time faster than 2:01:00, crossing the line in 2:00:35. “I knew I was coming for a course record, but a world record – I am so happy,” Kiptum said afterwards, according to World Athleteics. He had remained outside world record pace at the halfway point with a time of 1:00:48 but accelerated 10 kilometers from the finish to seal his place in the history books. Kiptum poses with his medal and the clock after setting a world record men's marathon time of 2:00:35. Meanwhile, Sifan Hassan broke the women’s course record in Chicago with a time of 2:13:38, the second-fastest ever race, as she made her US marathon debut.

☆ London Marathon: Sifan Hassan lays claim to being greatest female distance runner with thrilling victory
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
That’s precisely what Sifan Hassan did in the London Marathon on Sunday, though her stunning, chaotic victory in the women’s race was anything but straightforward. Hassan (center left) passes Big Ben on her way to an unexpected victory in London. Rather than making a long-term commitment to the marathon, Hassan thought she would test herself over the longer distance and still race on the track this summer. “I was telling myself that I’m stupid that I decided to run the marathon,” said Hassan. Prior to that, she broke the 23-year-old mile world record at the start of 2019 and won 1,500 and 10,000-meter golds at the world championships a few months later.
