ESPN anchor Hannah Storm announced Wednesday that she has undergone a hysterectomy for cancer and is now cancer-free. She will miss covering the New York City Marathon on Sunday, which takes place in the US, after doctors advised her to take more time to recover from surgery.
Storm, 64, has co-hosted the iconic race for ESPN for over a decade. She had hoped to return in time for Sunday's broadcast but decided to remain at home instead. 'This year I will be cheering on my ESPN/ABC NYC Marathon family from my living room,' she wrote on Instagram. 'I was hoping to be back in time for Sunday's race, but my doctors have advised me to take a little more time to recover from surgery.'
Storm previously beat breast cancer in 2024, when she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, a type of stage 0 breast cancer. She acknowledged Dr. Monica Prasad-Hayes and her team at Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center for her treatment. ESPN said it wished her well and looked forward to her return to 'SportsCenter'.
