Tokyo World Championships to Feature Award Ceremonies and Fan Interaction Zone Outside Stadium



On Aug. 25 the organizers of next month's Tokyo World Athletics Championships announced their plans for the medal ceremonies at the Championships. As previously announced in June along with the designs for medals, the award ceremonies will be held on a stage to be set up outside the National Stadium on its south side near the F Gate. The decision follows the groundbreaking setup that proved popular at the 2023 Budapest World Championships.

The first medal ceremony will be held before the start of the evening session on the second day of the Championships, with the ceremony for the afternoon session on the final day planned for after the evening session ends. A fan photo zone where fans can interact with medalists will be set adjacent to the stage. To give children the experience of seeing the operation of a major championship behind the scenes, local junior high school students will be chosen to act as guides escorting the medalists to the stage.

For the 3rd time in his career Suguru Osako broke the men's marathon NR, running 1 second under the standing record to take 4th in the Valencia Marathon in 2:04:55. All the way to 40 km he was steady on 2:58/km, 2:05:10 pace, and like a surprising number of other people in both the men's and women's races, there was a massive jump over the last 2.195 km from his projected finish time to his actual one. His run put Osako back on top of the Japanese charts, put the average of Japan's 10 fastest marathon times of the year under 2:06 for the first time, and got him into the L.A. Olympics marathon trials. Valencia has been trying to get top-tier Japanese athletes to come for years, and now that they finally managed to do it it paid off in a big way. Expect more next year. Back home, former Takushoku University captain Derese Workneh won a 3-way race against Toyota teammates Kazuya Nishiyama and Bedan Ka...
