Kenya's Olympic Marathon champion Eliud Kipchoge has told the 麻豆社 a world record would make him complete. In 2017 at the Monza Formula One track, under conditions that wouldn鈥檛 count for world record purposes, he clocked two hours and 25 seconds. That鈥檚 more than two and a half minutes quicker than the official world record. Kipchoge, currently the world鈥檚 best marathon runner, had come closer than any man in history to a sub two hour marathon. Now he wants a place in the official record books and recognition by the sport's world governing body. Photo: Eliud Kipchoge celebrating in Monza Credit: Getty Images.
