"Ricky Lightfoot wins Man V Horse 2022 -- only the third person ever to beat the horse":

Lightfoot is the first runner to have crossed the finish line before a horse in 15 years – Florien Holtinger was the last person to claim victory back in 2007. It’s also only the third time that a human has finished ahead of all the equine racers since the event began back in 1980...
