[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The 30-year-old shook off fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai with just under three miles remaining to become the first man to run a [url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/98241.html]marathon[/url] in less than two hours and three minutes. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mutai, who finished second in 2:03:13, also broke the previous record. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I feel good because I won a very tough race," said Kimetto. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I felt good from the start and in the last few miles I felt I could do it and break the record."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The previous world [url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/98241.html]record[/url] had been set on the same course 12 months ago by Kimetto's compatriot Wilson Kipsang, who ran 2:03:23. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Kimetto, who won marathons in Tokyo and Boston last year, had promised to attack the record in Berlin if conditions allowed. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]And in weather perfect for long-distance running, with temperatures around eight degrees centigrade, Kimetto kept his promise, staying in the lead group throughout and [url=http://dict.qsbdc.com/sprinting][b]sprinting[/b][/url] to victory and a new world's best time. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mutai, meanwhile, believes a two-hour marathon is possible. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"From what I saw today, times are coming down and down. So if not today, then tomorrow," the 29-year-old Kenyan said. "Maybe next time we'll get 2:01." [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mutai had run the fastest marathon in history in 2:03:02 in Boston in 2011, but it did not count as a world record because the course is considered too straight and downhill. [/size][/font]
