I think this is what exactly what we are as people in Zimbabwe; the social media activities mirrors exactly what you find in Zim, wether its services , infrastructure etc. when we start being serrious our discussions will become better.

"Nothing is impossible, everything is possible." 🤩 Inspiring words from Kenyan distance runner Sabastian Sawe, who became the first person to run a sub-two-hour marathon in a record-eligible race over the weekend at the London Marathon! 🇰🇪

Uranium starts as a rock in the ground, but through a series of chemical processes and high-speed centrifuges, it can become either a city’s power source or a weapon of mass destruction. Al Jazeera's Basel Ghazoghli breaks down ⤵️

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

Jeff Bezos spent 3 hours on a physics problem with his roommate. They got nowhere. So they went to the smartest guy at Princeton. He looked at the problem and said one word: "Cosine." That was the exact moment Bezos decided not to become a physicist. Here's the full story: Bezos wanted to be a theoretical physicist. That was the plan. He went to Princeton. He was a really good student. A on almost everything. He was in the honors physics track. Started with 100 students. By quantum mechanics, it was down to 30. Junior year. Quantum mechanics. He's also taking computer science and electrical engineering classes on the side. Then he hits a partial differential equation he can't solve. "It's really, really hard." He studies with his roommate Joe. Also really good at math. Three hours. Got nowhere. They look up at each other across the table at the same moment and say the same name: "Yosanta." Yosanta was the smartest guy at Princeton. He was Sri Lankan. His name was three lines long in the facebook (which was an actual paper book at that time). "I guess in Sri Lanka when you do something good for the King they give you an extra syllable on your name. So he had a super long last name. The most humble, wonderful guy." They go to Yosanta's room. Show him the problem. He stares at it for a while. Then he says: "Cosine." Bezos: "What do you mean?" "That's the answer." "That's the answer?" "Yeah. Let me show you." He brings them into his room. Sits them down. Writes out three pages of detailed algebra. Everything crosses out. The answer is cosine. Bezos asks: "Yosanta, did you just do that in your head?" "No. That would be impossible." "Three years ago I solved a very similar problem. I was able to map this problem onto that problem. And then it was immediately obvious that the answer was cosine." Bezos on that moment: "That was an important moment for me. Because that was the very moment when I realized I was never going to be a great theoretical physicist." He didn't quit because he was bad. He was in the top 30 at Princeton. He quit because he saw what great actually looked like. Great wasn't grinding for 3 hours. Great was pattern-matching to a problem you solved 3 years ago and seeing the answer instantly. He couldn't do that. Yosanta could. So he pivoted. Computer science. Business. Amazon. Built a $2.5 trillion company instead. The rest is history.

Christina Koch didn’t arrive at the edge of the Moon by accident—she built her way there, piece by piece, long before anyone was watching. She grew up in North Carolina with a fascination for how things work, a curiosity that pushed her toward engineering and science when those paths still quietly filtered women out. She earned a degree in electrical engineering and physics, then went further—working in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Antarctica. Remote research stations. Places where isolation, endurance, and precision weren’t optional—they were survival. Long before space, she was already proving she could handle it. When she joined NASA, she wasn’t stepping into a spotlight—she was stepping into years of training, discipline, and technical mastery. And in 2019, she did something no woman had ever done before: she stayed in space for 328 days. Nearly a full year aboard the International Space Station. That mission wasn’t symbolic—it was demanding, relentless, and deeply physical. She conducted experiments, maintained systems, and stepped outside the station six times for spacewalks. One of those spacewalks became historic—the first all-woman spacewalk, alongside astronaut Jessica Meir. It wasn’t planned as a headline. It was a mission that needed to be done. But it quietly marked a shift. Women weren’t just part of space exploration—they were leading it, executing it, defining it. And then came Artemis II. Christina Koch was named as a mission specialist on the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years—a flight that will carry humans around the Moon and back. No landing, no footprints this time—but something just as powerful. She will become the first woman to travel that far from Earth, circling the Moon itself. That matters more than it sounds. Because for decades, women were excluded from early astronaut programs entirely. They had the intelligence, the discipline, the capability—but not the access. The image of space exploration was built without them. Christina Koch’s presence on Artemis II doesn’t just add a woman to that story—it changes the shape of it. She represents a generation that didn’t wait for permission. That trained, worked, endured, and stepped forward anyway. From the frozen isolation of Antarctica to nearly a year in orbit… to the vast distance between Earth and the Moon—her path isn’t just about achievement. It’s about expansion. Of possibility. Of representation. Of what the future looks like. For the first time, when humanity circles the Moon again, a woman will be there. Not watching history. Making it. © Women In World History #archaeohistories
