纽约马拉松24岁跑者在中央公园倒地身亡，61,146人完赛创纪录
11月3日披露的消息显示，24岁的纽约市马拉松跑者蕾切尔·阿帕在11月1日举行的纽约马拉松比赛中倒地身亡，引发跑步界和公众的关注。阿帕为首次参加马拉松，经过数月训练，家人向《纽约时报》表示她此前身体状况良好。
比赛当天下午1时33分左右，她在中央公园24英里标记附近倒地，当时在场观赛的医院社工迈克拉·尼古拉斯与未婚妻立即上前为她实施心肺复苏。阿帕最终因横纹肌溶解症不治身亡，这是一种肌肉组织分解并损害身体的罕见病症。据报道，美国每年约有26000人患上横纹肌溶解症，而上一次纽约马拉松出现跑者死亡还是在2024年。
今年的纽约马拉松共有61146名选手完赛，连续第三年打破世界纪录。男子组冠军为瑞典选手安德烈亚斯·阿尔姆格伦，成绩为2小时06分01秒；女子组冠军为35岁的肯尼亚选手希拉·切普基鲁伊，成绩为2小时24分36秒。赛事组织方和跑者群体在悼念阿帕的同时，也再次提醒长距离赛事的健康风险不容忽视。
NYC Marathon Runner, 24, Dies After Collapsing in Central Park as Record 61,146 Finish the Race
News disclosed on November 3 showed that Rachel Apa, a 24-year-old runner in the New York City Marathon, died after collapsing during the race on November 1, drawing attention from the running community and the public. Apa was running her first marathon after months of training, and her family told The New York Times she had been in good health.
At about 1:33 p.m. on race day, she collapsed near the 24-mile mark in Central Park, where hospital social worker Michaela Nicholas, a spectator, rushed over with her fiancée to perform CPR. Apa ultimately died of rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition in which muscle tissue breaks down and harms the body. About 26,000 people in the United States develop rhabdomyolysis each year, according to reports, and the last death of a runner at the New York City Marathon occurred in 2024.
A total of 61,146 runners finished this year's marathon, breaking the world record for the third consecutive year. Sweden's Andreas Almgren won the men's race in 2:06:01, and Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui, 35, won the women's race in 2:24:36. As organizers and fellow runners mourn Apa, the death is a reminder that the health risks of long-distance racing should not be overlooked.
