Eliud Kipchoge stunned the world on Sunday after he broke the World Marathon record that has been in existence for the last 4 years.
Kipchoge crossed the line in record time 2:01:39, becoming the sixth man to break the record, which was set by another Kenyan, Dennis Kimetto in 2014.
Speaking after the race, Kipchoge expressed his happiness at winning the race in this manner.
"I had great belief that I could achieve this feat and running a sub 2 hours two minutes was simply amazing and I believe I can still go below that with such good conditions. I could have posted better times if he went with the pacesetters up to 30km mark,"
"The last pacesetter went out at 25km mark but that still inspired me to continue pushing alone," explained Kipchoge adding that he shall defend his title perhaps with another new record next year."Berlin forever! I shall come back here next year,” he said.
The champion further took to his twitter account to talk about his win, thanking his coach for the wonderful work he has done.
He also took to his twitter account to thank all those who made it possible.
