World record set as Kelvin Kiptum wins 2023 Chicago Marathon

Newcomer Kelvin Kiptum finished his first Bank of America Chicago Marathon in historic fashion, not only winning the 2023 race and beating out defending champion Benson Kipruto, but possibly setting a world record in the process.

I thought Eliud couldn't be beaten. His times are completely crazy. But what Kelvin Kiptum has delivered here is simply incredible. It's probably only a matter of time until the 2-minute mark is reached. And of course we are now waiting for the clash of the titans: Eliud vs. Kelvin!

[@btugrul]

Amazing performance! This is the guy who will probably break the 2-hour barrier in an official marathon!

[@omgurheadsgone]

For sure! The previous men’s record on this course was 2:03:45 which he beat by OVER 3 MINUTES! Berlin is a faster course where Kipchoge had the 2:01:09 world record from last year so I pretty much guarantee you Kiptum will drop a sub 2 hour barrier time in Berlin next year if the course conditions are favourable that day!

Two greats of the marathon - Samuel Wanjiru and Kelvin Kiptum - Both Kenyan, both died at age 24, both had so much more to show us. Wanjiru still holds the Olympic record and I dare say, Kiptum will hold the World record for many years to come.

Eliud is right. no human is limited. He is a great inspiration for the future generations.
