Key claims and evidence

Key claims in source A

  • What comes today is not for me alone," Sawe said, "but for all of us today in London." Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda came in third, finishing in 2:00.28.
  • I think they help a lot," Sawe said, "because if it was not for them you don't feel like you are so loved ...
  • I screamed when I finished because I knew I was breaking the world record," Assefa said.
  • On Sunday, Sawe was in Adidas, which is making a men's size 9 shoe that weighs 3.4 ounces — less than half the weight of an average running shoe, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Key claims in source B

  • Yomif Kejelcha finished just 11 seconds behind, as Jacob Kiplimo, too, raced under the old WR.
  • He truly never looked out of his comfort zone despite having debutant Yomif Kejelcha on his shoulder until just before the 25-mile mark.
  • However, many pundits subscribe to the view that the marathon only really starts once 25K has passed and so it proved in London.
  • At around 31K Sawe cranked up the pace more severely and only Kejelcha went with him.
