When it comes to breaking world records, London Marathon is now in a league of its own.

在打破世界纪录方面，伦敦马拉松已无人能望其项背。

This year's race was the biggest, with nearly 60,000 finishers, and the fastest, with two elite world records, and Sabastian Sawe becoming the first person to break the two-hour barrier in a sanctioned race.

本届赛事不仅规模空前，有近六万人完赛，成绩也刷新了历史最快纪录，诞生了两项精英组世界纪录，塞巴斯蒂安·萨维更成为了首位在认证赛事中突破两小时大关的运动员。

Now, more people than ever want to take part in next year's event, with over 1.3 million applications, and near parity between male and female runners.

现在，想要参加来年比赛的人数达到了有史以来的最高峰，共有超过 130 万人申请参赛，其中男女选手比例几乎持平。

Organisers are considering staging the 2027 edition across two days with two separate mass participation races.

赛事组委会正在考虑将 2027 年的赛事分两天举行，即举办两场独立的大众赛。

Approval is yet to be given, but it could mean there may be more spots up for grabs in what has become the world's most popular running race.

方案虽待审批，但这预示着在这场全球最受欢迎的竞跑赛事中，将有更多参赛名额可供争取。
