CHICAGO (USA): Paula Radcliffe told Sports Illustrated she believes Jordan Hasay, who improved to 2:20:57 in the Chicago Marathon, is built for the distance. “I’ve watched her career unfold with races from 1500 m to when she’s moved up,” she said. “I always thought that she would be a great marathon runner. She has the combination of physical attributes to run a good marathon plus the mental strength and focus.”
