Daniel Romanchuk Wins New York Marathon Wheelchair Race

News summary

Daniel Romanchuk claimed victory in the New York Marathon men's wheelchair race, ending Marcel Hug's three-year championship streak. Hug, who previously won 16 consecutive marathons and a gold medal at the Paris Paralympics, fell behind after his wheelchair was clipped by another competitor during the race. The final stretch saw Romanchuk, David Weir, and Tomoki Suzuki battling closely, but Romanchuk pulled away to win in 1 hour, 36 minutes, and 31 seconds. Susannah Scaroni triumphed in the women’s wheelchair race, winning by over 10 minutes and marking her second victory in this event. This year was historic as both men's and women's wheelchair races were won by American athletes. Despite falling short, Hug's past achievements include being the first para-racer to secure the Abbott World Marathon Majors series title by winning all six major marathons last year.
