New York Marathon: Swiss Wheelchair Racers Face Unexpected Challenges
In a surprising turn at the New York Marathon, Swiss wheelchair racer Marcel Hug, a previous champion, finished fourth due to an injury sustained during the race. Hug’s grip was compromised after a fall, ending his streak of victories in 2023. American athlete Daniel Romanchuk claimed the win with a time of 1:36:31. In the women’s race, Manuela Schär secured third place, maintaining her record of being on the podium every year since 2013, although she trailed behind winner Susannah Scaroni by 11:15 minutes.
