It's called persistence hunting, they run the animal down until it is exhausted then kill it.

must be really persistence to catch the animal! He ran non stop after the onyx......and the animal just dropped down exhausted!

Our Army should look at getting some Kenyan to become citizens.

 

But after one generation, maybe also cannot IPPT too.

 

Our Army don't even sponsor Mok YIng Ren. Mok YIng Ren biggest sponsor is Air Asia

No sponsor nevermind.

Think Dr Mok will be glad as long as they don't make home do ICT during his major competition.

And this guy only started professional training in his mid-20s??? Amazing!!

 

Of course, in reality, given their background, they've probably been running and training "unofficially" in their daily lives from a very young age.

I did the berlin marathon, but in 5h many years back. It is a good place for world records and personal bests as the course is quite flat. The whole city turned out to support the 40000 runners. I never forget the experiencing of seeing chio model-like berlin girls who pulled down their shorts and pee in broad day light at the starting line.

Amazing. Wonder if the 2-hour mark will ever be broken?

 

The Ring production car 7-minute mark has only recently been passed (by the Porsche 918, I can't remember if another car also managed it - the Radical SR8 doesn't count).

WOW! Not one but 2 person finished Sub 2!

Sabastian Sawe made history at the London Marathon by becoming the first athlete to run a sub-two-hour marathon in a competitive race.

The 30-year-old Kenyan crossed the line to win in one hour 59 minutes 30 seconds, more than one minute faster than the late Kelvin Kiptum's previous record of 2:00:35, set in 2023.

Another talent from Kenya. Unheard of prior to this and did it on London Marathon route.

Didn’t expect the sub 2 hours marathon broken so fast after demises of Kelvin Kiptum and retired Kipchoge.

Glad to live in the life time where the 2hr Marathon is broken. Finally. 

Sibei historic moment for the running world.

Why historic, coz there are 3 runners who broke the world's record. 2 of them broke sub2.
