Shibui wins Ladies Marathon
OSAKA (JPN, Jan 25): Breaking away from the lead pack at 28.5Km and covering the 30 to 35Km in 16:11, Yoko Shibui convincingly won the 2009 Osaka Ladies Marathon with 2:23:42. “I was not consciously picking up the pace, but I just run faster and faster,” said Shibui after the race. “I was never able to pick up the pace at the end of the race. I think I have figured out how to win the marathon,” Shibui continued. Despite a slow early pace (none of the 5Km lap time was under 17 minutes until 30 to 35Km) the winning time was quite respectable. It was twelfth fastest time on the course. It was also the fourth fastest in Shibui’s eleven marathon career. For Shibui, who said “I will continue to run the marathon until I win one” after the fourth place finish in the 2008 Tokyo Women’s marathon, it was her third marathon victory of her marathon career, having won her debut at 2001 Osaka Ladies Marathon with the world marathon debut record (at the time) and then the 2004 Berlin Marathon with the national record. Thus her quest for a marathon victory is fulfilled after the draught that lasted more than four years. As a winner of the World Championships qualifying race, Shibui clinched a spot on the marathon team for the World Championships in Berlin; she will be running her second World Championships marathon, having finished fourth in Edmonton eight years ago. Yukiko Akaba, a marathon debutante finished second with 2:25:40. “The marathon felt shorter than what I have expected, so I was able to enjoy the race. But I was bit disappointed because I could not win it,” said Akaba after the race. She was followed by Yumiko Hara in 2:26:57 and Miki Ohira with 2:27:08. Lidia Simon of Romania, 2001 World Champion, was fifth in 2:27:14. She just edged Mika Okunaga, who improved her marathon best from 2:27:52 to 2:27:16 in sixth place. Ruth Wanjiru, a Kenyan, who lives in Japan and runs for Second Wind AC was seventh in 2:27:38. Madoka Ogi, was eighth in 2:27:56, thus eclipsing the best time for the eighth place in Osaka, which was 2:28:06, recorded last year. Another debutante, Akane Wakita, a protégé of Yoshio Koide, was ninth in 2:31:16. Incidentally, her time is similar but slightly faster than Naoko Takahashi’s marathon debut time, which was 2:31:32, recorded in the 1997 Osaka Ladies marathon.
