2007 highlight: Mother of all wins

Just 10 months after a marathon 27-hour labour, new mum Radcliffe was a winner over 26 miles against some of the world's best athletes.

Radcliffe gave birth to daughter Isla in January, and won the New York Marathon in October.

She kept repeating the phrase "I love you Isla" to keep her rhythm in the gruelling closing stages.
