Sebastian Sawe’s parents have shared their pride at the runner’s historic sub-two-hour London Marathon win.
The 31-year-old Kenyan set a new world record after crossing the line in one hour 59 minutes 30 seconds on Sunday, more than a minute faster than the previous record holder’s time.
Simion and Emily told the BBC they watched the race from home in rural Kenya, and are planning celebrations for when Sebastian returns.
