Sabastian Sawe aims for faster marathon times after historic run

Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe, who made history by breaking the two-hour marathon barrier with a time of 1:59:30 in April, expressed confidence in achieving even faster records in the future. Speaking at a Berlin event, he highlighted that the combination of favorable conditions and improved technology would enable better performances. Sawe is recovering from a fractured leg and is targeting a return for the London Marathon in 2027, with aspirations for a standout performance at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. His remarks followed a harrowing incident where Tigst Assefa suffered an Achilles injury while competing for the women’s record during a recent race in Berlin.
