At the Nagoya Women's Marathon, the final selection race for the women's marathon of the Tokyo Olympics, 37-year-old Kayoko Fukushi abandoned halfway over 30 kilometers, and did not participate in the Olympics for the second consecutive marathon.
Fukushi abstained in the Osaka International Women's Marathon in January, which was one of the national selection races, just over 25 km and ran at the Nagoya Women's Marathon on the 8th at intervals of about one month.
In the early stage, he raced behind the lead group where the winning champion Mao Ichiyama and others were able to keep up, but could not keep up with 15km, and at the middle point he was more than a minute away from the lead group .
And abstained halfway around 30 km.
Fukushi did not respond to the press coverage after the race, but Wacoal's coach Tadayuki Nagayama said, "I did not move from about 15 km. I was not good at cold, so I got cold. "It was not the original move," he said.
Fukushi has now stopped participating in the marathon for the second consecutive Olympics, but Nagayama said, "I think she had one mountain today because she was there. I will finish the race today. She doesn't mean anything, she wants to restart again for the next. "
