Ethiopian women’s record in the marathons Do Nascimento and Marcel Hug, both of Kenya, beat Chebet, Salpeter, and Scaroni

The race seemed to be in trouble with six miles left after the man fell over the speedbump and was left sprawled on the road.

But it didn’t stop the 23-year-old from making history on Sunday as she eventually crossed the line first to become the youngest winner of the London Marathon.

Her victory, in two hours, 17 minutes and 25 seconds, was the third fastest time ever in the women’s race, the fastest debut time in history and an Ethiopian record.

Yehualaw ran her first marathon in April but broke with four miles to go to clock a 4:43 mile split.

Ethiopia’s Yalemzerf Yehualaw, second place, and Ethiopia’s Alemu Megertu, third place, are at the finish line.

NEW YORK — Evans Chebet of Kenya won the New York City Marathon men’s race and Sharon Lokedi of Kenya won the women’s race Sunday, both of them making a splash in their debuts.

Do Nascimento went out to a fast start on a warm day, and was in front for most of the race. The Brazilian collapsed at Mile 21, right before he got back into Manhattan, and was attended to by medical professionals. A few miles earlier, he had taken a quick 20-second bathroom break.

It was Lokedi’s first-ever marathon and she finished in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 23 seconds — just ahead of Lonah Chemtai Salpeter of Israel. Lokedi started the race in a dead heat and held onto her lead until the last two miles where she pulled ahead of Chemtai to win by seven seconds and break the course record.

Marcel Hug of Switzerland was victorious in the men’s wheelchair race for the fifth time, tying Kurt Fearnley for most-ever victories in that event. The marathon in New York went through the five regions of the city in 1 hour, 25 minutes and 26 seconds, breaking the previous record held by Fearnley of Australia.

Hug, who also won the race last year, earned $50,000 for besting the course record. He crossed the finish line more than two minutes ahead of Daniel Romanchuk.

Susannah Scaroni also broke the course record in the women’s wheelchair race, finishing in 1:42.43. The old mark was 21 seconds better than the new one.

Scaroni, a 31-year-old from Illinois, pulled away from the field early and also earned the bonus money for topping the course record. Second runner-up was also from Switzerland, and third runner-up was from Australia.

The 36-year-old Hug, nicknamed the “The Silver Bullet,” has been on quite a streak, winning four gold medals at the Tokyo Paralympics last year as well as the Tokyo, Berlin, London and Chicago Marathons in 2022.

The temperature was expected to hit the 70s and possibly set a record for the hottest marathon since the race moved to November in 1986.
