Is that another article, or did they fix it? The article that I see by the NYT has Mary Keitany's name in the headlines.

But everyone knows the NYC marathon. It's like Gault said: no headline would say "Winner dominates the Masters; wins by 6 strokes" even if it was a total unknown. There are lots of newspaper headlines with the names of people I don't know; the implication is that I should read the article and then I'll know: remember the name because this person is important. There are even some headlines about regular people that include their names: "Jan Jahnsen's wife was kicked off Medicare. So why does he plan to vote for Trump?" I see articles like that all the time. And again, the implication is: this is a person. They are important, or relatable, and yeah, a person. Clearly, they don't see Mary Keitany the same way
