Austrians dominate Empire State run, eldest entrant steps on


The returning champions from Austria have both posted remarkable victories in the Empire State Building Run-Up, while the Big Apple's favourite social climber shined again at age 93 in the 28th annual race.

Rudolf Reitberger won the closest Empire race ever and Andrea Mayr became the first woman to break the 12-minute barrier with a winning time of 11:51 despite wearing a cast for a broken wrist.
