Good luck!&#8221;
On March 6, for the first time in three years, ordinary runners participated in the Tokyo Marathon. Amidst the huge crowd, there was a runner who received such cheers from the crowd along the route. It was Minami Ishikawa, 25, a popular second-year announcer at Nippon Television Network Corporation. Clutching a panda accessory in her hand, she was running frantically.

Behind Ishikawa, who was running exhausted, a petite female runner with a short cut was closing the distance. She is Mao Odaka, 23, another newcomer to Nittele.
 She is a promising newcomer with an aptitude for variety. She participated in the Tokyo Marathon as part of a project for Baguette, an information program in which she also appears. She was trained by Yuko Arimori (55), a silver medalist at the Barcelona Olympics,&#8221; said a staff member at a production company.

Odaka caught Ishikawa at the turnaround point in Tamachi and quickly overtook him. With a gap of more than 10 minutes, he crossed the finish line with a look of confidence on his face. He was in stark contrast to Ishikawa, who crossed the finish line with a blank look on his face.
Will Kodaka overtake Ishikawa in the main event this year? It will be interesting to see the dead heat between the two.
