"Sawe believes he is in similar shape to when he went for the world record in Berlin last September, only to be thwarted by temperatures in the mid-20s centigrade."
"Sawe's agent, Eric Lilot, says that they will ask the pacemakers to go through halfway in 60 minutes and 30 seconds which at least gives him a chance of making history."
"Sawe's coach, Claudio Berardelli, also confirmed that last year's London Marathon winner had fully recovered from a stress fracture in his foot after Berlin and a back injury in December."
"I've been coaching for more than 20 years in Kenya, and when I started dealing with Sabastian, I immediately realised this is not just a good athlete, this is not just one of."
Sabastian Sawe, known as the silent assassin, is targeting the men's world marathon record in London, currently held by Kelvin Kiptum. Sawe believes he is in peak condition, similar to his previous attempt in Berlin, which was hindered by warm weather. He will wear the new Adidas Pro Evo 3 supershoe, which is lighter and faster. His team plans to have pacemakers set a challenging pace, and Sawe's coach confirms he has recovered from injuries, indicating potential for a record-breaking performance.
