  • While it might be a world record for sure, it stands an unofficial one.

    As per the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the setup and pace of the race were modified and did not come in terms with IAAF's module.

    However, Kipchoge still holds the world record of 2 hours, a minute and 39 seconds, having set the record last year in Berlin.

    Pacemakers, which also included former champions like Matthew Centrowitz and Bernard Lagat, took turns every 42.195 kms to support Kipchoge.

    The running surface was somewhat retarded and readied, while it also had banked corners to save time and remain injury-free.
