For Wheelchair Racers, High Winds and Arguments to Start the Day
When gale-force winds ripped across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge yesterday at the start of the New York City Marathon, the 75 wheelchair competitors were told by officials that their event would have to be shortened for safety reasons. Two wheelchair athletes defied the edict and completed the 26 miles 385 yards in a breeze. The wind tore loose plywood boards that were placed as a safety measure on the four expansion joints of the bridge. Consequently, the bridge grating was exposed, and Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority officials were concerned that the wheelchairs could become stuck in the grating and that the racers could be subjected to injuries from the sudden stop. According to the race director Allan Steinfeld, the T.B.T.A. decided the wheelchair participants would have to be transported off the bridge by bus and start the event at about the two-mile point in Brooklyn.
