Since I didn't watch world xc due to it's time being so early, I missed the awesome spectacle of
Hiroto Yoshioka trying to crawl across the finish line (his feet got there but he was DQd).

Anyway, he's still not full recovered by says his main goal is to make outdoor worlds this year. If he does, he'll be the Japanese NR holder.

Yoshioka's main goal for the year is making this summer's Budapest World Championships. The qualifying time is 13:07.00, faster than Osako's 13:08.40 NR. But Yoshioka's ambitions are even higher. "

Sick.

Wonder what his training is like?

Indeed, you missed that epic finish! And on contrary to Gidey's case, nobody rushed to help him. Even his teammate waited patiently.

Clearly this boy knows how to push. He'll run 13:05 this year (or if not will he retire???)

Here, he comes to the frame - it's kinda painful to watch, but epic at the same time:

Now that's the way to promote the sport of running: block the video highlight.

BRILLIANT!!

This runner is very likely clean. Japanese have immensely good morals, notably honesty. Americans are much more prone to being fake and dirty.

Why was he DQ'ed? He made it over the line under his own power. Is it the torso, not the feet? If I recall correctly, once his feet went over the front end of the finish line, he received assistance.

Just watched again, he never crossed the line. Only the banner that was on the brand. Looks as though the finish line was in the middle.

13:07 . solid goal, but maybe he's hitting the saki bottle a little hard.

Are you sure he really "literally" passed out?

re: Well,,,,

Gap the Africans early, pay the toll at the finish line. It will be interesting to see if he tones down the early pace in the future.

just surprised Osako is still the NR holder at 13.08. They’re really road folks

Many stories at WXC...the most impressive one was the Aussie female going with the pack until the last lap. She was 15th into the final lap and collapsed in last 20 meters. She got up and stumbled across the line to place 22nd. She suffered with temp at 107.

It was a brutal race and one I won't forget. The mentioned athlete is pacing Nagoya this weekend.

From the article:

He instinctively felt he had reached the finish line and collapsed again, this time for good. But, he admitted, "Since I was going feet-first I don't have any memory of seeing the finish line." The next thing he did remember was being in an indoor ice bath. His finish was ruled a DNF, his feet having touched the leading edge of the finish line mat but short of the actual timing line.

I would even say Marathon specifically, because Half NR is not extraordinary either : 1:00:00

I visited Tokyo (half my family is from Japan) and loved it. It’s clean, very safe, no litter, etc. I saw somebody leave his computer and other things on a table for an hour and nobody touched it.

Based off “feeling”, it’s like the Loop, if the Loop had no litter and crime

Why would you even bring this up?

If his chip read on the mat he should have been considered a finisher.

Another tough finish that many haven't seen from WXC Bathurst.
