New world record for fastest marathon in a suit

Runner Soh Rui Yong achieved a remarkable world record at the London Marathon.

Soh Rui Yong from Singapore has earned a place in the Guinness World Record book because, on 27 April, he ran the fastest marathon ever in a suit. He stopped the clock at 2:39:57 after 42.195 km, almost a minute better than the previous world record. His suit (including tie) didn’t seem to hinder him too much.

In style to the finish line!
