Eliud Kipchoge breaks his own marathon world record in Berlin
Double Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge has broken his own men's marathon world record at Sunday's race in Berlin.
He had previously taken one minute 20 seconds off compatriot Dennis Kimetto's 2014 record of 2:02.57 in Berlin."I am happy with my preparation and I think I was so fast because of the teamwork. Everything is down to teamwork," he said. On an overcast day in Berlin, Kipchoge, who has now won 15 of his 17 career marathons, ran the first half of the 26.2-mile race in 59 minutes, 51 seconds, prompting thoughts that he may become the first runner to break the two-hour mark in an official race
