NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Olympian Ryan Hall will skip the New York City Marathon because of several nagging injuries.

Hall dropped out of the race in London last month because of a tight right hamstring. He has been bothered by plantar fasciitis, among other problems, and said Monday he had lost too much training time.

The other two Americans who ran in London, Meb Keflezighi and Abdi Abdirahman, are still scheduled to compete in New York on Nov. 4.
