Paula Radcliffe, Defending Champion, Great Britain, Age: 35
Radcliffe is the defending ING New York City Marathon champion and the greatest female marathoner in history. She has won 8 of the 10 marathons that she has started, the only exceptions being the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Marathons, before both of which she was injured. Her world record of 2:15:25 is more than three minutes faster than any other woman has ever run; she also holds the world bests at nine other distances. Radcliffe won the first two of her three New York victories with sprint finishes; last year she dropped her last challenger at 23 miles and won by nearly two minutes. Her daughter, Isla, was born in January 2007.
Joan Benoit Samuelson, United States, Age: 52
Benoit Samuelson set a women’s world record (2:22:43) in the 1983 Boston Marathon and won the inaugural women’s Olympic Marathon in 1984. Her 2:21:21 winning time at the 1985 Chicago Marathon stood as the American record for 18 years. Last year, at age 50, she ran the U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon and broke the U.S. women’s 50+ record with her 2:49:08.
