NEW YORK - Paula Radcliffe defended her title at the New York City Marathon on Sunday to become the second woman to win the race three times.
Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil won the men’s race for the second time in three years, passing Abderrahim Goumri of Morocco with about a mile to go.
Unlike Radcliffe’s tight victories in 2004 and ’07, the world record holder from Great Britain pulled away from Ludmila Petrova in the 22nd mile to win comfortably in an unofficial time of two hours, 23 minutes, 56 seconds.
“It was tough out there this year because of the wind. ... Everybody wanted to run behind me,” Radcliffe said. “This year I was determined to feel comfortable at the halfway point.”
The 40-year-old Petrova was second, the oldest woman to finish in the top two since Priscilla Welch of Great Britain won in 1987 at the age of 42.
Kara Goucher, in her marathon debut, took third, becoming the first American to make the podium since Anne Marie Letko was third in 1994. She posted the fastest time in a marathon debut by an American woman, breaking Deena Kastor’s mark set in this race in 2001.
Gomes dos Santos’ unofficial time was 2:08:43. Goumri settled for the runner-up spot for the second straight year, and Daniel Rono of Kenya was third.
Grete Waitz won the race a record nine times, the last in 1988.
New York was again the site of a stirring comeback for Radcliffe. As in 2004, she rebounded from a disappointing Olympic performance with a victory in New York. Last year, she won her first marathon since the birth of her daughter less than 10 months earlier.
Radcliffe has won eight of the 10 marathons she has started — all but her two Olympics.
Russia’s Petrova, the 2000 NYC Marathon champ, set a Masters world record with her time, breaking Welch’s mark set in London in 1987.
Gomes dos Santos keeps finding magic in New York, where he has won his only two major marathon titles. He finished eighth last year.
Goumri finished in the top three in a major marathon for the fourth time in 19 months but is still seeking his first title.

The trails of Squaw Valley, Calif. are the unofficial home of North America's greatest extreme skiers. Shane McConkey was considered one of the most influential skiers. However, on March 26, 2009, the 39-year-old's luck ran out. McConkey sailed off a 1,300-foot cliff in Italy’s Dolomite Alps and had trouble releasing his bindings. By the time he opened his parachute it was too late. Three years later, Rock Center correspondent Natalie Morales met up with McConkey's wife, Sherry, and friend J.T. Holmes, to investigate a cluster of deaths in an extraordinary ski community tucked high in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
