Fearnley Wins Wheelchair London Marathon
April 26, 2009
Australian Kurt Fearnley denied Britain’s Dave Weir a fourth successive London Marathon wheelchair win after surging clear in the final straight.
Paralympic marathon champion Fearnley gained revenge over Weir, who won in a similar sprint last year, in a time of one hour, 28 minutes and 57 seconds.
South African Ernst van Dyk, who joined Weir in an early break, finished third.
American Amanda McGrory beat defending champ Sandra Graf in the women’s race, with Britain’s Shelly Woods sixth.
I’m sure you’ll agree that all the participants are truly DisAbled, and wish them all luck for next year!
