This superhuman dude made history's first by running a freaking marathon in UNDER 2 hours. I think that's way more impressive than Usain Bolt sprinting for a mere 9 seconds.

For your info, 2 hours for a marathon is 4mins34seconds per mile, which means he essentially ran at the pace of a sprinter for an entire 26 miles. That's essentially you sprinting 100 meters, 420 times in a row. That's faster than most people even riding on their bicycles.

If that isn't insane I dont know what is.

Just check out this video to see how crazy

Also more impressive is that this isn't a tall dude like Usain Bolt was gifted with his genetics.

Eliud is really short (less than 1.7m). Imagine that. Some short tiny dude runs THIS fast.

I don't watch many sports and I don't watch much television with advertisements but I've seen Usain Bolt in advertisements so... there's that.

The 100m dash is a better product for television, and thus garners more attention.

It sounds like the name of a comic book speedster.
