An unexpected change has struck the queen of the marathon. On Aug. 6 it was revealed that Athens Olympics women`s marathon gold medalist Mizuki Noguchi (30, Team Sysmex) cut her altitude training in St. Moritz, Switerland short, returning to Japan on Aug. 4 rather than Aug. 7 as originally planned. Noguchi was experiencing feelings of fatigue related to being at a high elevation and opted to relocate to a more moderate altitude. She will continue her training in Hokkaido until her departure for Beijing on Aug. 13. Noguchi is trying her hardest to become the first woman to defend an Olympic marathon gold medal, but with 10 days to go until the main event the slightest doubt has surfaced.
