Kipchoge salutes his fans after finishing the Ineos 1:59 challenge in Vienna, Austria on October 12, 2019
NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 13 – On the second time of asking, Eliud Kipchoge finally achieved his life-long ambition of becoming the first man to run a marathon under two hours, something he equated to a maiden journey to the moon and back.
Kipchoge not only achieved his dream, but did so with an emphatic 19-second bargain as he clocked 1:59.40 in the Ineos Challenge on the streets of the Austrian capital Vienna early Saturday morning.
And to dance to his celebratory tunes, sporting royalty from all over the world joined in congratulating Kipchoge’s extra ordinary achievement, a success that has come after a strenuous four and a half months of work.

“That‘s not #football but I extend all my congratulations to @EliudKipchoge for his historical 🏃🏿♂️performance on the #ViennaMarathon ! Unbelievable ! Once again, #Africa shows its skills and competences in #sport ! 👏🏾,” CAF boss Ahmad tweeted.
“For me, this is the most impressive sporting achievement in history. Absolutely moved to tears to be able to witness this in my lifetime. A sub-2hour marathon.
