    A little bit of sibling rivalry is set to escalate on the New Zealand marathon circuit

    A little bit of sibling rivalry is set to escalate on the New Zealand marathon circuit


    29-year-old Zane Robertson has set a new national record on the Gold Coast with a time of of 2 hours 8 minutes 19 in his marathon debut.

    The time breaks the previous record held by his twin brother Jake.

    Zane says it's awesome to be competing alongside his brother like this.

    He says going into the race, they both knew Jake's record could be in trouble.

    The time also puts Zane well within the required time for this year's World Champs and next year's Olympic Games.
