Chicago Marathon Japanese Results

Runner-up at last year's Fukuoka International Marathon, Kyohei Hosoya was the top Japanese finisher at the Chicago Marathon Sunday. Hosoya went through halfway in the 2nd pack in 1:03:46 en route to a 2:08:05 for 6th. Riki Nakanishi was the only other Japanese man under 2:10, barely, finishing 14th in 2:09:59. Hiroto Fujimagari and Kiyoshi Koga were less successful, Fujimagari 20th in 2:13:04 and Koga 23rd in 2:13:42.

Koki Ozawa just made it under 2:20 in an apparent marathon debut, running 2:19:54 for 40th. Sub-2:10 man Masaya Taguchi dropped out after 25 km, hitting halfway in 1:05:10 but abruptly slowing after that. Club runner Tomomi Nakajima was the top Japanese woman to finish, 55th in 2:47:23.

After Emily Sisson's wonderful 2:18:29, it appears the US women are now clearly overtaking the Japanese women in terms of time and recent major results. I hope this sparks something in the Japanese runners. These days, it would seem running sub 2:20 is the bare minimum to be even somewhat competitive. When you have Ruth Chepng’etich running an absurdly fast 2:14:18 the gap in class is extraordinary. Congrats to Ruth on such a great run!
