Gomes dos Santos Surprises, Prokopcuka Repeats at ING New York City Marathon 2006
Rather than the course records assumed to be a given by all involved beforehand, Marilson Gomes dos Santos and Jelena Prokopcuka won in times (2 hours, 9 minutes, 58 seconds and 2:25:05 respectively) that didn’t even make the New York all-time Top 10 list. What’s more, they did so in runaway fashion, as neither was seriously challenged by their All-Star pursuers for most of the race.
