Stunning progress in the half marathon!
Uganda's runner Jacob Kiplimo just made history - and probably made some cyclists jealous! He smashed the half marathon world record in Barcelona, clocking an insane 56:42. That’s 48 seconds faster than the previous record.
Perfect weather, a perfect run, and now Kiplimo is the first man to break the 57-minute barrier. Oh, and he casually set a new 15km best of 39:47 on the way.
His reaction? "I wanted to have a great race, but I didn’t expect to break the world record." Casual. Legend.
