'I jumped around the house': Sabastian Sawe’s parents on the moment he made history - BBC Africa

'I just did not know what to do...' Sabastian Sawe's parents have spoken about how they celebrated their son’s historic sub-two-hour London Marathon win. The 31-year-old Kenyan runner set a new world record after crossing the line in one hour 59 minutes 30 seconds on Sunday, more than a minute faster than the previous record holder's time. Simion and Emily told the BBC they watched the race from their home in rural Kenya, and are planning celebrations for when Sabastian returns.
