Marcel Hug's dominance in wheelchair racing ended as Daniel Romanchuk claimed victory in the New York Marathon, marking a significant shift in competition.
Romanchuk noted, 'I know most of the other racers pretty well, really just try and completely empty the tank for the final mile. It's amazing.'
Scaroni, who won the women's wheelchair event, expressed her joy, stating, 'Always so special to be here in New York City. I woke up feeling great today.'
The historic wins for Romanchuk and Scaroni mark the first time that both wheelchair races were won by Americans in the New York Marathon's history.
