"The marathon will go on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bloomberg said. "Most of the power will be back if not all of it."
"The marathon is much more than a race and once again it's so true this year as was the case after 9/11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to deliver an event that can aid New York City's recovery."
Fearnley flew to the US on Tuesday with his sights firmly set on going one better than the two second places he has recorded in the famous marathon the past two years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"I've tried to win there the last two years and failed so this is important to me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said the multiple Paralympic champion and wheelchair racer who has won more than 35 marathons during his stellar career.

The marathon has an estimated $350 million economic impact for New York and is one of the biggest sporting events held in the city,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
