Suguru Osako competed in the MGC and placed 3rd in 2:09:11. Thank you again for your support. MGC was the race to decide Japan’s representatives for the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but only the top two finishers could qualify. The third and final runner to qualify for the Paris Olympics will be the top runner who wins the Fukuoka, Osaka, and Tokyo marathons in 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 50 seconds or faster. (2 hours 5 minutes 50 seconds is the highest Japanese record from April 2022 to March 2023.) If no runner exceeds this requirement, Suguru Osako will represent Japan in the marathon at the Paris Olympics! …
