Potential NYM winner

BBC Sport - Athletics - Britain's Mara Yamauchi hoping to win New York Marathon: "Britain's Mara Yamauchi is hoping for a double success in New York when she takes part in the city's marathon.
The Japan-based 36-year-old won the New York City Half Marathon in a course record time in March and will make her debut in the full event in November.
She chose not to compete at the recent European Athletics Championships in Barcelona in favour of taking part in a race in the autumn.
'New York is an iconic race. I will give it everything,' said Yamauchi.
'I can't wait to return to New York and race against the best marathon runners in the world."
