Warning: sensitive content ⚠️

Early leader Daniel Do Nascimento is out of the race and receiving attention from first responders.

The marathon is brutal.

According to LetsRun.com, who spoke with Do Nascimento’s agent, the runner collapsed due to low blood sugar and dehydration.

“The problem was that he underestimated the humidity and the warm[th] of NY today and in any case he open[ed] too fast,” the agent told LetsRun, adding he also had “diarrhea due to something he drank during the race.”

“He got a bad experience and he is a very aggressive boy but when you are 24 years old and only 4 marathons finished you can make a big mistake,” she stated.

The temperature the day of the race was reportedly 68° Fahrenheit with a high of 72° and a dew point of 61.

Do Nascimento had also previously collapsed during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed until July 2021 due to the pandemic.
