Isaac Nader won the Lisbon São Silvestre on Saturday night, setting a new Portuguese record for the 10-kilometre race, the distance of the race with the start and finish line on Avenida da Liberdade, in the heart of the capital.
The Benfica athlete ran the distance in 28.03 minutes, taking five seconds off the previous best national time (28.08), which belonged to Duarte Gomes, who also competed in the Lisbon race, recorded on 16 November this year, in Lille, France.
