Kenyan Kelvin Kiptum shattered the men's marathon world record in Chicago as he beat compatriot Eliud Kipchoge's previous mark by more than 30 seconds.
The 23-year-old finished in a time of two hours and 35 seconds.
"I feel so happy. A world record was not in my mind today," he said after beating Kipchoge's time of 2:01.09, set in Berlin in September 2022.
Dutch runner Sifan Hussain set the second-fastest women's time in marathon history as she won the female event.
