Honami Maeda and Madoka Nakano Withdraw From Osaka International Women's Marathon


On Jan. 13 the organizers of the Jan. 29 Osaka International Women's Marathon announced that 2021 Tokyo Olympian and 30 km NR holder Honami Maeda (Tenmaya) has withdrawn due to pain around her left ankle. It was to have been her first marathon since the Olympics. Maeda has yet to qualify for the Oct. 15 Paris Olympic marathon trials race in Tokyo. While working to rehabilitate her ankle she will look for an alternative race at which to qualify. 2019 Doha World Championships marathon team member Madoka Nakano (Iwatani Sangyo) has also withdrawn after straining a muscle in her left thigh.

Perhaps Honami Maeda can participate in either the Tokyo Marathon on March 5 or the Nagoya Marathon on March 12 but it must be extremely discouraging for her to be injured so often in recent years. It would be a shame if she were unable to qualify for the MGC race.
