Beijing Olympics men`s marathon team member Satoshi Osaki (32, Team NTT Nishi Nihon) arrived in Abashiri, Hokkaido on June 18 to begin an intensive training camp. At a welcoming ceremony at Abashiri city hall hosted by Mayor Osamu Oba, Osaki told well-wishers, "I`m here to do the training I`ll need to be ready to win the gold medal."
Osaki will be in Abashiri for training three times in the next forty days as he makes his final preparations for the Olympic main event on August 24th. Mayor Oba addressed Osaki, telling him, "All of Abashiri`s well-known training facilities are at your disposal. We want you to train as hard as you can." Osaki in return complimented Abashiri, saying, "Mt. Tento`s undulating terrain, the cycling roads and many other places to run, the accomodations and food in Abashiri make it the perfect place for me to be ready for the Olympic marathon."
The other two members of the Beijing Olympics men`s marathon team, Team Chugoku Denryoku`s Atsushi Sato and Tsuyoshi Ogata, also plan to train in Abashiri.
