Kenya gave Sabastian Sawe a hero’s welcome after his historic sub-two-hour London Marathon finish. Crowds, dancers, and cameras swarmed Nairobi’s airport as his plane received a water cannon salute. President Ruto awarded him 8 million Kenya shillings and a personalised number plate reading 01:59:30. Sawe told the crowd: “I did not expect it.” His father added: “He used to tell me he would break the record.”
