Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge broke the marathon world record by more than a minute Sunday, winning the Berlin Marathon with a stunning time of 2:01:39. The previous record, also set in
Berlin, was a 2:02:57 race run by Kenya's Dennis Kimetto in 2014. "I had a great belief that I would run a world record," Kipchoge said after his victory. "But I
didn't know I'd run 2:01. I didn't know that what I was believing translated to 2:01, but I'm happy for it." Kipchoge, who has been hailed as the "greatest
marathon runner of all time," won Olympic gold for the marathon in 2016. Watch his moment of triumph in Berlin below. Bonnie Kristian SUBSCRIBE TO THE WEEK Escape your echo chamber. Get
