Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia broke her own women’s-only world record on Sunday at the London Marathon, winning in 2:15:41 to better her record of 2:15:50 from last year.

As athletes and spectators marvel at, not one, but two men smashing the once-thinkable two-hour barrier in this year’s London marathon, German sportswear maker Adidas also has reason to celebrate.

The 31-year-old Sawe, who has never lost a marathon, on Sunday shattered the world record previously held by the late Kelvin Kiptum, who set a time of 2:00:35 at the Chicago Marathon in October 2023.
