Ethiopian athlete Kejelcha
He previously achieved a sub-2 full marathon (1:59:41),
but he finished in a disappointing 2nd place while also achieving sub-2
because the winner, Sawi, was 11 seconds faster.
This time, he achieved a new half marathon world record
(56:51)
The previous record set by Kipchoge
was invalidated due to the issue of the lead vehicle providing a windbreak (56:42).
