Sky's Enda Brady recalls his greatest sporting memory of 2019 when one man achieved what many thought impossible.
Kipchoge crosses the line in Vienna to become the fist person to run a marathon in under two hours2019 delivered plenty of incredible sporting memories, but watching Eliud Kipchoge cross the finish line in Vienna to become the first runner in history to complete a marathon in under two hours was something I will never ever forget.He looked fresh, beaming that big smile of his and happily signing autographs. I'm not ashamed to say I asked for one.
We chatted and discussed the possibility of him trying once more to run sub-two hours. It was clear then that he felt he had it in him to make history and make the world take notice.He had narrowly missed out by 26 seconds previously in Monza, but in Vienna he absolutely smashed it. Yes, he had phenomenal pacemakers. Yes, he had expensively designed running shoes and a car-guided laser beam at 13.1mph to guide him home. But he still had to run at most average runners' sprint speed, the entire marathon distance.
