Champions look to defend their titles as Abbott World Marathon Majors resumes in New York City
Reigning champions Stanley Biwott and Mary Keitany have contrasting reasons for wanting to retain their titles at the TCS New York City Marathon this Sunday when action resumes in Series X of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.
Biwott defends his crown knowing victory will move him into second place on the Series X leaderboard, just nine points short of Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge, while Keitany, the reigning AbbottWMM champion, aims to become the first able-bodied woman since Grete Waitz in the 1980s to win three successive New York City Marathon titles.
