Sabastian Sawe's hero's welcome

Kenyan marathon record-breaker Sabastian Sawe received a hero's welcome in Nairobi after becoming the first person to run a marathon in under two hours.

President William Ruto awarded Sawe Sh8 million and a new car in recognition of his historic feat.

Sawe presented his signed record-breaking shoes to the President during a jubilant ceremony at State House.

Experts suggest that Sawe's performance marks a turning point in athletic achievement and national pride for Kenya.
