NEW YORK — Beverly Ramos wore a headband with the colours of the Puerto Rican flag and soaked in the cheers along the route of the New York City Marathon. The two-time Olympian stayed in Puerto Rico to train despite two devastating hurricanes within a month. The 30-year-old Ramos finished 24th on Sunday in 2 hours, 46 minutes, 45 seconds. She shared photos of her training, writing “Puerto Rico rises” in her Twitter posts. She ran in 30-degree cooler weather in New York after sweltering 80-degree days in Puerto Rico.
