That last kilometre, where he (Kipchoge) accelerated and he came through on his own, it was super-human really. “Even the guy driving the pace car was crying, the tears were streaming down his face. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos chairman and CEO, said that he was in tears at the finish line, as was everyone else: So I'm sure down the road someone will come and say I want to try it, but history has been made. "Eliud has told us that records are meant to be broken. For humanity, whatever level you are in you can move yourself to another level. "For the sport, it's challenging other athletes that they can perform better than they think. He has actually inspired all of us that we can stretch our limits in our lives and we can do more than what we think we can do. Kipchoge's coach Sang was also delighted, "I'm happy for what he has achieved. “The 41 pacemakers are among the best athletes in the whole world … to all of them I want to say thank you, thank you for doing the job. Kipchoge had a message for his fellow runners who helped him to the line: "No human is limited, and I’m expecting more people to do it after today." - Eliud Kipchoge
