Dr. Nina ByteDoctor Nina Byte. I've read the fine print.
Dr. Nina ByteSabastian Sawe ran the London Marathon in one hour, fifty-nine minutes and thirty seconds, the first sub-two-hour marathon that officially counts.
Kenji MoonfieldEliud Kipchoge ran one fifty-nine forty in twenty nineteen and it didn't count, because rotating pacers and a bicycle brought him his water.
Dr. Nina ByteCorrect. That's the rule. Sawe also took one minute and five seconds off the old official record.
Kenji MoonfieldTen seconds faster, and the bicycle still hasn't been cleared of anything.
