Eliud Kipchoge became  first person to run marathon in under two hours

Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge has successfully completed the first-ever marathon under two hours in the Austrian capital of Vienna, two years since he fell 25 seconds short.

The 34-year-old ran forty-two kilometres in 1 hour, 59 minutes and 40 seconds at Vienna's Prater-Hauptallee - an achievement once considered beyond human's reach.

Kipchoge was on target to break the record during the first half of Vienna's Prater Park , after completing 21 kilometers in 59.35 minutes.
