I am so happy. It is a day to remember for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We started the race well. Approaching finishing the race, I was feeling strong. Finally reaching the finish line, I saw the time, and I was so excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Assefa sets new world record to win London Marathon for second year in a row<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s race, Ethiopia&#8217;s Tigst Assefa improved her own world record for a women-only field as she surged clear of Kenyan rivals Hellen Obiri and Joyciline Jepkosgei in a thrilling finish to retain her title in 2:15:41.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss great Marcel Hug cruised to a record-equalling eighth London Marathon victory in the elite men&#8217;s wheelchair race, tying level with Great Britain&#8217;s David Weir by winning for a sixth successive year.<\/p>\n<p>Catherine Debrunner also retained the elite women&#8217;s wheelchair title as the Swiss burst clear of American Tatyana McFadden in the closing stages.<br \/>\nHow Sawe achieved sporting immortality in London<\/p>\n<p>Much of the focus beforehand had been about Sawe &#8211; winner of last year&#8217;s race in 2:02:27 &#8211; targeting Kiptum&#8217;s London Marathon course record of 2:01:25.<\/p>\n<p>He told BBC Sport this week that it was &#8220;only a matter of time&#8221; before he broke Kiptum&#8217;s world record, adding &#8220;I hope and wish one day [it will be me]&#8221; when asked about becoming the first person to run under two hours in a race.<\/p>\n<p>Sawe had targeted Kiptum&#8217;s world record in Berlin last September, when he went through halfway in 60:16, before that bid was ultimately undone by the hot weather.<\/p>\n<p>But, in perfect race conditions in London, Sawe stormed down The Mall to achieve that historic feat, doing so in a time which was once considered impossible.<\/p>\n<p>BBC commentator and former world champion Steve Cram said: &#8220;There are things that happen in sport and you want to be there to see history being made &#8211; if you are watching on TV then well done, but if you&#8217;re in London, it is a privilege and it is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We said it was a day for records but I don&#8217;t think in our wildest dreams we could have foreseen this.&#8221;<br \/>\n03:22<br \/>\nFigure caption,<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8216;I am so happy&#8217; &#8211; Sawe reacts to winning London marathon<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After covering the first half of the course in 60:29, Sawe moved through the gears to complete the second half in just 59:01.<\/p>\n<p>Only 63 men in history have run a half marathon as quickly as that &#8211; with Sawe&#8217;s own personal best standing at 58:05.<\/p>\n<p>His splits continued to quicken as he chased down his target, clocking 13:54 for the five kilometres from 30-35km, and 13:42 for the 35-40km stretch &#8211; an average pace of 2:45 per kilometre.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will reverberate around the world,&#8221; said former women&#8217;s marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goalposts have literally just moved for marathon running and where you benchmark yourself as being world-class.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a lesson to everybody out there. We say &#8216;don&#8217;t go out too fast&#8217; &#8211; they went out smartly and paced it really well.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8216;We&#8217;ve witnessed something incredible&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Pundits react to Sawe&#8217;s landmark sub-two-hour marathon<\/p>\n<p>Kitted out in sponsor Adidas&#8217; latest supershoes, Sawe, who has won all four marathons he has contested, managed to take two minutes and 35 seconds off his marathon personal best.<\/p>\n<p>He has sought to ensure confidence in his performances by undergoing frequent drug tests and was tested 25 times before competing in Berlin, where he faded to finish in 2:02:16.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank the crowds for cheering us. I think they help a lot, because if it was not for them, you don&#8217;t feel like you are so loved,&#8221; Sawe said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think they help a lot because them calling makes you feel so happy and strong and pushing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is why I can say what comes for me today is not for me alone but all of us in London.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to Sawe&#8217;s record, Britain&#8217;s four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah said: &#8220;We&#8217;ve waited long enough to see a human go sub-two.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s always been the question that we&#8217;ve asked.
