A NEW WORLD RECORD!! || Yomif Kejelcha Drops CRAZY TIME! || 2024 Valencia Half Marathon!

[@Arek152]

I'm really happy for him. Kejelcha usually pushes the pace from the beginning and gets outkicked by someone else. Now, that's his moment of glory.

[@austineotieno8275]

💯. Happy for him from Kenya. 👏🏾👏🏾

[@cortert103]

Couldn’t agree more, he finally got his big result and it’s well deserved

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

You’re bang on. The Olympic 10k was a big example of this.

[@bek2106]

What an impressive man, 3:47 indoor mile, 7:23 3000, 12:38 5k, 26:31 10k, and now a 57:30 Half. These are all crazy achievements, either world record, within a few seconds of a world record, or a top 10 all time performance. The versatility he has across so many distances, and the decade long longevity is absolutely insane!

[@jojolords4523]

Yomif Kejelcha also ran a 1'500m indoor when Samuel Tefera broke the indoor 1'500m world record before Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yomif Kejelcha was just off the indoor world record of Hicham El Guerrouj finishing second behind Samuel Tefera.

[@joelmacinnes2391]

Phenomenal performance from Kejelcha - I'd like to see how he fares in the marathon because some of these splits are unbelievable. Also great to see Mateiko coming in second, remember he paced the first 30k of each of Kiptum's marathon majors - glad he's still delivering after losing a close friend and training partner

[@oscarenriqueromerocabezas5773]

Sooo happy to see Kejelcha land this. He’s a fantastic runner who always races all out and pushes the pace from the gun, but almost always gets outkicked in the end. He has really earned this one!!

Honestly, Kejelcha deserves this. Truly world class athlete. Also, this is a quite believable record. He’s been a staple of world class running for quite a while now.

[@jadontaylor9517]

Bro did Borega dirty at 1:55

[@stevelau7694]

With his advantage in super long stride, I see him breaking 1:59:40 in an official marathon. This guy is built better than anyone else for distance running including kiptum and kipchoge. He broke the half marathon record on a rainy day which will slow you down by around 1% so give him perfect conditions at a Berlin marathon and would not be surprised if he becomes the first man to run under 1:59

[@WorldT]

so amazing for someone to do a HM in that time period, lets wait till someone does a sub 55 min HM

I love how I was literally thinking about the half marathon world record yesterday wondering who and what will be the next time to set a new world record for it and then literally the next day it gets broken. I also find it interesting how I’m half French and my name is Etienne and in the top 10 finishers of this race theirs literally a French guy named Etienne in it. Truly remarkable

Gran tiempo de Yomif Kejelcha!! Aunque la rebaja del récord mundial anterior es de apenas 1 segundo,es muy meritorio pues una buena parte de la carrera estuvo acompañada de Lluvia. En mejores condiciones ambientales,este atleta está capacitado para rebajar por mayor margen el RM e incluso romper la barrera de los 57:00 minutos.

[@ravciozo2137]

5:35 because the official 15k record was run during the Zevenheuvelenloop (Nijmegen), which is a really tough course. It literally means the "seven hills run". No wonder that 15k splits can be faster than that, especially considering that they can have a net downhill (if the last 6.1km has an uphill again so that the entire halfmarathon course is flat)

[@bestintheworId]

i like how he runs his first 5k split as fast as his 5k pr

[@headlibrarian1996]

I recall when a 27:12 10k on the track was considered a respectable time.

[@user-yos23]

The world record was broken twice within one second; the difference between the three fastest runners in history is just two seconds!😬

His 10k pb is 28:27 for god's sake, just beating out Agnes Ngetich- the fastest 10k WOMAN of all time. amazing!
