New York City Marathon 2021: Who won? Results and times here News 360 Tv

Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir (Women) and Albert Korir (Men) are the New York City Marathon 2021 winners today Sunday 7 November.

Jepchirchir won gold on her Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, and now she's topped the podium on her first attempt in New York too.

The Olympic champ was in control from start to finish and dictated the pace before pulling away from fellow Kenyan Viola Cheptoo and winning by four seconds, with Ethiopian runner Ababel Yeshaneh finishing third.

Tokyo 2020 marathon bronze medallist Molly Seidel of the USA finished just off the podium in fourth.

And shortly afterwards Albert Korir made it a Kenyan double as he crossed the finish line first in the men's pro race.

Second in 2019, the 27-year-old claimed the biggest win of his career here, 44 seconds ahead of Moroccan Mohamed Reda El Aaraby, with Eyob Faniel of Italy in third.
