ING New York City Marathon - Previous Head-To-Head and Historical Results
by MarathonGuide.com Staff

Many of the marathoners at the 2008 New York City Marathon have met in competition before - and sometimes past histories can predict the future.

Looking at the compilation of results, one might note that Abderrahim Goumri has beaten all of this year's competitors whom he has raced before, meaning that the Moroccan can run faster than his competition and will not fold under pressure.

On the women's side, Paula Radcliffe has had the most success against her competition while Catherine N'dereba, Gete Wami and Lyudmila Petrova have all fared well from time to time.

If you're handicapping the race and making predictions, the following tables should help. If you're interested in knowing who is who, this should help as well...
