Tatyana McFadden won the New York City Marathon women's wheelchair race on Sunday becoming the first person to get all four top marathons in a year.
Boston, London, Chicago and now New York City with 1 hour 59 minutes and 13 seconds, Tatyana tried the same achievement in 2009 and 2011 with no success and even her tires were punctured costing her the race.
"Slowly and surely those races came," Tatyana McFadden said. "It's just about training and taking time to really develop muscles, develop the sprint aspect and develop endurance and try to put those together."
Tatyana was born with a spinal defect known as spina bifida and abandoned at a Russian orphanage as a baby. She was adopted in 1994 when she was six years old by an American family and guided to the path of sports.
McFadden is an Illinois University senior and now, she will return to school to take an exam and race in the Nordic skiing World Cup in December, graduate, and attend to Sochi Paralympics in Febraury, USA Today informed.
