ATHLETICS Beatrice Chebet motivated to retain Diamond League Trophy after Xiamen exploits
Chebet, 23, crossed the finish line in a World leading time of 8:24.05, which was also a Meeting record.
The Boston Marathon saw him defeat world marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge who finished sixth at the event. Chebet will now be seeking to make history by becoming the second man to win back-to-back titles in both the Boston and New York City Marathons.
In an interview with the New York City Marathon media personnel, Chebet said: “I feel very confident as I begin my preparations to defend my TCS New York City Marathon title.
"I understand that nobody has won Boston and New York in back-to-back years since Bill Rodgers in the 1970s, so making history will be my aim.”
However, his quest will not be a walk in the park since he will have his work cut out. He will be competing against injury-free Geoffrey Kamworor who has the mastery of the course at his fingertips.
