Why's there no general sports thread?
The marathon world record was just shattered by one minute and 18 seconds!
Eliud Kipchoge ran 2:01:39 beating the old record of 2:02:57. Apparently, last year he ran 2:00:25, almost getting under the historical 2h mark, but it wasn't an official record because he had people run next to him who helped him keep his pace.
Apparently the guy is only 5'6". I always thought runners were supposed to be tall. Maybe I didn't have a major disadvantage when I got second place in 1km in the district championship in 4th grade when I was a head shorter than the rest.
