This shouldn't be news to anyone who clicked on this article, but in case you somehow got amnesia between then and now, yesterday was kind of a big deal in the world of professional running and track and field. Eliud Kipchoge showed he was beyond the limitations of mere mortals by annihilating the marathon world record in Berlin, and then Kevin Mayer followed up with an astonishing decathlon world record in Talence, France. 

If you haven't enjoyed enough content about these tremendous feats just yet, here's a compilation of some of the most eye-popping stats from Berlin and Talence.

Statistics below courtesy of Ken Nakamura:

• 2:01:39 broke Dennis Kimetto's former world record, 2:02:57, by more than a minute (1:18)
• That's the biggest chunk taken off the world record since Derek Clayton broke Morio Shigematsu's world record of 2:12:00 by running 2:09:37 in the 1967 Fukuoka Marathon
• 14:18 is the fastest 5k split between 15k to 20k in history
• 1:12:24 is the fastest 25k split in history (except for the Monza race)
• 1:26:45 is nearly 30 seconds faster than fastest-ever 30k split (1:27:13 by Kipchoge at the 2016 London Marathon)
• 60:33 is the fastest closing half marathon in history (in the fast marathon)
• The sum of the men's and women's winning times in today's Berlin marathon is 4:19:50 (2:01:39+2:18:11), which is by far the fastest in history. The second-fastest is 4:22:48 from the 2018 London Marathon.
• Tirunesh Dibaba has now run three sub-2:19 marathons; only Paula Radcliffe has more with four (Note: Mary Keitany has two, and nobody else has more than one).
• Tirunesh Dibaba's 2:18:55 is the best third-place time in history. She now has the best second-place time as well as the best third-place time in history.
• For men, the top-10 average for the Berlin Marathon is now 2:03:14, which is nearly a minute faster than the average for Dubai (2:04:13)
• For women, the top-10 average for the Berlin Marathon is now 2:19:19—second only to the London Marathon (2:18:17)
• Gladys Cherono's top-five marathon average is now 2:20:26; only Paula Radcliffe (2:18:04) and Catherine Nderba (2:20:11) have faster averages.
• 2:08:11 broke the Berlin Marathon course record by more than a minute; Ruti Aga and Tirunesh Dibaba were also under the previous course record.
• 1:38:04 by Cherono is the fastest 30k split in Berlin

And here are some fun facts from IAAF senior web editor and statistician Jon Mulkeen: 

Imagine doing 200m reps in 34.60 seconds. With no rest in between. 211 times over.

That's basically what @EliudKipchoge did in Berlin today.

If you were to run alongside Kipchoge, how long would you last? This is what 2:01:39 pace translates to for various distances.

I'd probably be spent at about 700m. With some hard training, I could maybe make it a full 800m. pic.twitter.com/FlWmIi3mLk

Remember when Kipchoge passed through the first 10km in 29:01 and everyone got excited because he was 30sec inside WR pace?

That was actually the slowest 10km segment of his race.

His 10km splits:
29:01
28:55
28:49
28:47

His last 10km (from 32.195 to 42.195km) was ~28:33.

The last time world records were broken in standard outdoor athletics events in two different cities on the same day...

18 June 1995

- Daniela Bartova set a pole vault WR of 4.12m in Duisburg

- Olga Kuzenkova set a hammer WR of 68.16m in Moscowhttps://t.co/9GDsLrdd7A

And the last time world records were broken in standard men's outdoor athletics events in two different cities on the same day...

1 May 1976

- Harvey Glance equalled the 100m WR with 9.9 in Baton Rouge

- Mac Wilkins set a discus WR of 70.86m in San Jose.

Two world records were set at two different locations on this day in 1956.

- Hungary's Sandor Rozsnyoi ran 8:35.6 in the steeplechase in Budapest.
- Australia's Betty Cuthbert ran 23.2 for 200m in Sydney.

62 years on, will 16 September 2018 be another day of two world records?

Prompted by a question from @KatharineMerry, here's a rough outline of what Mayer's and Eaton's WRs would look like head to head.

Eaton would lead the first 3 events, then there'd be a bit of back-and-forth for the next 4 events before Mayer pulls away in the final 3 events. pic.twitter.com/723nvAcO1r

Crazy stat: Mayer had 8421 points after nine events. Even if he moon-walked the 1500m and scored zero points in that event, he would have still had enough points to win by 111 points.

(Second place - after all 10 events - was Euro champ Arthur Abele with 8310).
