World-record holder Haile Gebrselassie has pulled out of the New York City Marathon with an apparent right knee injury.
The Ethiopian great stopped at the 16-mile mark on the Queensboro Bridge on Sunday. Gebrselassie had said before the race that the knee was bothering him.
The 37-year-old Gebrselassie was making his much-anticipated debut at the NYC Marathon.
Marathon officials say Gebrselassie had an MRI on Saturday that
found fluid and tendinitis in the knee.
