Great Britain’s Paula Radcliffe has won six of the seven marathons that she has started, the only exception being her DNF at the Athens Olympics. She has smashed the world record twice, and she also holds the world bests at 8K, 10K, 15K, 10 miles, 20K, the half-marathon, 25K, 30K, and 20 miles.
Radcliffe won the ING New York City Marathon 2004 over Susan Chepkemei by three seconds, the closest finish in the history of the women’s race. She recently returned to competition following the birth of her daughter, Isla, in January and an ensuing stress fracture of the sacrum; the ING New York City Marathon 2007 will be her first marathon in two years.
