Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo made sports history on Sunday, blazing through the Barcelona Half Marathon in 56 minutes and 41 seconds—smashing the previous world record by a jaw-dropping 49 seconds! The 23-year-old, already a two-time world cross country champion, called it 'the perfect race' with ideal weather and zero wind. 'I felt unstoppable,' he said, adding he’ll rest until his marathon debut in London this April.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Toshikazu Yamanishi also rewrote history earlier that day, breaking the men’s 20km race walk record in Kobe with a time of 1:16:10. His victory speech? A heartfelt shoutout to fans who stuck by him during tough times.
