Radcliffe leaves rivals trailing By Steve Cram BBC Sport
If anyone ever doubted it, Paula Radcliffe has proved once again that she is in a league of her own when it comes to the marathon. Her victory in London on Sunday was another superlative piece of distance running. One or two athletes thought about trying to go with her in the early stages of the race, but they just can't live with it. I think it surprises Paula that some of her fellow competitors don't feel as though they can commit to that sort of pace early in the race. I know she feels that many of her rivals should be running quicker than they are - but she cannot do anything about that and it should not detract from her performance on Sunday. And all that with an unscheduled toilet stop towards the end. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/4454313.stm London Marathon pictures http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/photo_galleries/4453365.stm Radcliffe apologises for stopping http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/sport.html?in_article_id=345270&in_page_id=1771&in_a_source= Radcliffe swats away rivals and doubters alike http://sport.independent.co.uk/general/story.jsp?story=630546 Radcliffe sets new record - and still has time for a pit stop http://sport.guardian.co.uk/athletics/story/0,10082,1462209,00.html Luckless Brown falls just short again http://sport.guardian.co.uk/athletics/story/0,10082,1462210,00.html Radcliffe powers to third London win in 2:17:42 http://www.iaaf.org/news/Kind=2/newsId=29155.html In pictures: Radcliffe's victory http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Slideshow/slideshowFramesetFrag.jhtml?xml=/sport/gallery/londonmarathon/upixmara.xml Relieved Radcliffe says sorry http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2005/04/18/sofron18.xml&sSheet=/sport/2005/04/18/ixsport.html On 4/17/05, Ryan Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Top 10 Men: > 1.
