Beijing beckons for Radcliffe

Paula Radcliffe will turn her attention to the Beijing Olympics marathon following her comeback victory in New York.

The world record-holder returned to the event after a 26-month lay-off to win the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday, defeating Ethiopia's Gete Wami in dramatic style in Central Park.

"Even though I've got just over 10 weeks of running training behind me, I'm pleased with how things came together," said Radcliffe. "I'll see how my legs have recovered after my break and decide whether I need to run another marathon before Beijing."
