Jacob Kepylono tore the records of the records and put half the fastest marathon in history with his amazing victory in the Edrames Mitja Marazo Barcelona on Sunday.

The Ugandans have benefited from the ideal weather conditions to stimulate victory in only 56 minutes and 42 seconds, making it the first runner to go less than 57 minutes for half of the marathon.

KiPlimo time broke the previous record at 57:30, which was set by Emif Kegelisha from Ethiopia in Valencia last year, with the largest performance at all in the world record.

The 24 -year -old also achieved the best in the world 40:07 for 15 km on his way to the victory of the history of the history, where he ended more than two minutes from the closest opponent Jeffrey Camoror.

“I am very excited about what I did today,” said Kepmlo, who won the bronze medal in the 10,000 -meter World Championship.

“I wanted to get a great race, but I did not expect to break the world record!”

KiPlimo immediately took control of the opening kilometers and was already at a global standard pace by time when he reached 5 kilometers at 13:34, put it about 20 seconds from the field, then continued to improve to pass the 10 km inspection point at 26:46.

It went forward next to the next kilometer, with a 20 km mark in 53:42 to complete another section 26:46 10 km, with Kiplimo closed a dominant victory to restore the world record in Lisbon in 2021.

“It was the ideal race,” Kepelo added. “The perfect temperature, no wind at all, great circle – everything is better than expected.

“I identified the agreed pace of the cardiac -rating system, but I found myself full of energy and decided to inject a barren rhythm from the third kilometer, but I never imagined the performance under the 57 -minute barrier, this is amazing.”

Kiplimo confirmed after winning that it will not race again until the TCS London Marathon on April 27, as it will appear for the first time as part of a stars inlaid field that has four times the winner Illiod Keepchog.
