HALF MARATHON WORLD RECORD: JAKOB KIPLIMO RUN IN 57.31 IN LISBON. Our ATHLETICS section bring us today, the incredible performance from yesterday’s Lisbon Half Marathon.

The fastest 10k race on the road of history, then. Now, three years later, with just 21 years just turned (14NOV) he continues in his maturation process. Today he broke the world record for half a marathon. And all the fans dream of what may happen in the future, to continue progressing like this the always difficult jump to the marathon.

Jacob Kiplimo broke the world record in the Half Marathon today, running an overwhelming 57:31 in the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon. Second place went to Huseyidin Mohamed Esa of Ethiopia, who finished in 59 minutes and 39 seconds.

Tsehay Gemechu Beyan claimed the women’s title of the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon with a very fast time of 1:06:06.

The Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo, then broke with only 18 years, the time in 26:39, the best mark in the history of the San Silvestre and of all the 10K on the road in the world. SAN SILVESTRE 2018
