Marcel Hug of Switzerland, the defending males’s wheelchair champion, withdrew lower than an hour earlier than the beginning of the race, citing medical causes, the Boston Athletic Association said.
Hug, a five-time Boston Marathon winner and the course record-holder, gained the 5K race on Saturday, the place he also set a record of 10 minutes 5 seconds. Hug gained the 2021 race in October with a seven minute lead, regardless of taking a fallacious flip. Lower than a month later, he went on to win the New York Metropolis Marathon.
Hug, often known as the silver bullet, gained 4 gold medals on the Tokyo Paralympic Video games final summer season, together with his second consecutive gold within the marathon.
