Kenyan marathoner Sabastian Sawe, who set a world record of 1:59:30 at the London Marathon in April 2026, has faced both setbacks and honors. 

In late August, Sawe announced his withdrawal from the Berlin Marathon due to an undisclosed injury, stating, “It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that I am forced to withdraw from the Berlin Marathon due to injury.”

By late September, Sawe was inducted into the Adidas Hall of Fame alongside Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha. The induction recognized his historic sub-two-hour marathon performance.
