Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya capped a historic double Sunday morning. Just three months after claiming gold at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Jepchirchir turned around and won the 50th edition of the New York City Marathon, emerging from a pack of three in the final mile to finish in 2:22:39. Countryman Albert Korir won the men's race in dominant fashion, leaping into the air as he crossed the line with a time of 2:08:22. While Korir separated himself from the rest of the field by Mile 20, the women's race proved to be much tighter, with three women neck-and-neck entering the final mile – until Jepchirchir, 28, took off. She becomes the first woman to win Olympic gold in the marathon, then win a major fall marathon thereafter. Sunday's race marked a celebratory return to the streets of New York after last year's event was held virtually, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also the 50th running of the New York City Marathon. Photos by Seth Harrison/@usatodaysports and @gettyimages
