2008 Olympics

In the marathon, Japan sent a very strong team. The women's team consists of Mizuki Noguchi, Reiko Tosa and Yurika Nakamura. The men’s team is comprised of Tsuyoshi Ogata, Atsushi Sato and Satoshi Osaki. [2] Japan's Mizuki Noguchi, who won the Athens Olympic marathon four years ago, will not run in defense of her title, according to a report on the IAAF Web site.

Several news sources reported Sunday that Noguchi was rushed to the hospital to treat fatigue and back issues. The reason cited for her withdrawal on Tuesday was "an injury to her left thigh and to her groin."[3]

As a team, Japan will be entered in the Men's 4x100 and 4x400 relays and the Women's 4x400 relay.[4] Japan won a bronze medal in the Men's 4 x 100 relay.[5]
