Nairo Quintana earned an iconic tribute as he closed the book on a 15-year career at the Giro dell'Emilia, the very race where he claimed his breakthrough Movistar win fourteen years earlier — a fitting final chapter for two Grand Tour titles and 53 career victories. Watch below 👇

On this day in 1953, Jim Peters, a London optician who trains in plimsolls on his way to work, breaks his own marathon world record for the third time in 16 months, running 2:18:34.8 in Turku, Finland.

It's part of a stretch in which he lowers the mark four times over three years, eventually becoming the first man ever to break 2:20 for the distance.

He famously calls the marathon "the Everest of athletics". That’s a title that proves tragically fitting a year later, when he collapses repeatedly just short of the finish line at the Commonwealth Games, his body giving out in the heat before he can cross the tape.
