Vienna - Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge made athletics history on Saturday when he became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours, stretching the limits of human endeavour and passing a milestone few thought could be reached for decades if at all.
It was regarded as the biggest achievement in athletics since Briton Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile in 1954 and was likened by Kipchoge himself to landing on the moon. However, it was not recognised as a world record by the sport's governing International Association of Athletics Federations as it was not in open competition and used rotating pacemakers.

If he agreed it would been done in 16 minutes.
