The record is not approved
The 34 year-old athlete has only been defeated once in a total of eleven marathons - with a second place in Berlin 2013 - and holds the world record, with 2h: 01: 39, a mark that the Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele stayed 2 seconds after breaking in the Berlin marathon last September 29.
The record will not be homologated since the conditions of the International Athletics Federation (IAAF) are not met, although the mark will remain in the history of athletics.
There are no previous results.
