Shalane Flanagan has become the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon in 40 years when she claimed a dominant victory over Kenyan three-times champion Mary Keitany.
The men's title went to Kenyan Geoffrey Kamworor, who held off countryman Wilson Kipsang on Sunday.
Flanagan, who had never won a major marathon, clocked an unofficial two hours, 26 minutes 53 seconds for a stunning victory at the age of 36.
Keitany struggled home in 2:27:54 with Ethiopia's Mamitu Daska third in 2:28:08.
Kamworor finished in an unofficial 2:10:53 with Kipsang three seconds behind.
