Sabastian Sawe’s sub-two marathon feat is the Roger Bannister moment of our time | Sean Ingle

Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe made history at the London Marathon on Sunday by breaking the two-hour marathon barrier, completing the 26.2-mile race in 1 hour 59 minutes 30 seconds. The achievement is being compared to Roger Bannister's sub-four-minute mile as a once-in-a-generation landmark moment in athletics. Guardian columnist Sean Ingle describes the feat as track and field's last holy grail, noting Sawe sustained a pace of 4 minutes 33 seconds per mile for the entire race.
