The Japanese wave at the top 30 metasports marathon

There are three athletes without Vietnamese nationality in the top 30 men and women in the Metasports Marathon, including Akane Nemoto, Harada Tamae on the Women's Table and Sunyoshi Tomohiro in the male table. They are Japanese people living and working in Vietnam.

Of these, Akane Nemoto is in the top 6 women, with a achievement of the top 5 distance of 42km age 31-39 in VM Hue and the 11th distance of 42km in the tournament in Quy Nhon. Harada tamae was second to 42km age 31-39 at VM Hue, ranked 23rd on the turn of the total two tournament in 2022. SUEEYOSHI TOMOHIRO ranked 22nd in the male table, with the Achievement of Sub 3 at 42km distance Two tournaments in Hue and Quy Nhon.

From the 2022 season, the VM Organizing Committee launched the Runner rankings, based on their achievements and hierarchies in the tournament in the system. Top 50 men and women will be given BIB and receive many moving support from the organizers in the next tournament. As a result, Japanese running legs have more motivation to attend and maintain high achievements in the metasports marathon.

Harada Tamae had just returned from the Cameron Ultra Trail 2022 last week in Malaysia, where she completed the goal of running 100km in less than 20 hours, the fourth finish. Although not all tired after the tournament consumes a lot of physical strength, the 39 -year -old foot will still attend VM Ha Long. Tamae's decision not only comes from wanting to maintain the position in the top 50 on the hierarchy of the system. "I want to enjoy the Metasports Marathon," Harada Tamae shared. "The organizers always want to bring the best to the runner. That makes me appreciate."

Japan is a powerful power not only in Asia, but also at the world level. But with Tamae, running inspiration only until she came to Vietnam to work at an assessment company. Instead of walking to work like in Japan, Tamae rides a motorbike to work in Vietnam and feels need to find a sport to exercise.

Despite her busy work, she still tried to arrange the running time before going to work. She runs on average 200 km per month. Tamae later joined the group running Hochiminh City Running Club, where she met many compatriots as well as other friends from Vietnam, Philippines, Canada or Malaysia. After nearly 10 years of jogging, Tamae is now patrons in most tournaments in Vietnam. In VM Hue, she achieved the best personal achievement, when rolling after 3 hours 43 minutes at a distance of 42km.

"I like to run in Vietnam than Japan," the Japanese feet expressed. "In Japan there are many running awards, lots of runner, so the registration sometimes has difficulty. You need to be lucky to be attended. Karma. Especially, the biggest difference I see is that in Japan there is no unit that is capable of organizing tournaments across the country, like what metasports are doing in Vietnam. "

Tamae's Hochiminh City Running Club also has the presence of Akane Nemoto, who ranked sixth on the system to calculate the metasports marathon. Nemoto's most beautiful memories in the awards also came to VM Hue 2022, where she first reached Sub 3h30 full marathon. That is the goal of Nemoto always longing to conquer after six years of jogging.

"It is great that I broke myself at the metasports marathon," Nemoto said. "I have run many tournaments in this system as well as other tournaments in Vietnam. Running for me to meet new people, expand my community and travel to many places."

Nemoto came to Vietnam 5 years ago, as a senior manager in a marketing department of a company in Binh Duong. Like Tamae, Nemoto is busy with work, but always arranges running time in Vietnam. According to Runner 33 years old, jogging helps her healthy, happy and maintained the energy needed for work and life.

Having attended large -scale tournaments in Japan, but Nemoto was still impressed with the tournaments in Vietnam. "There are many tournaments running in Japan because it is a popular sport in our country," she shared before VM Ha Long. "But running in Vietnam is still different in Japan. In Japan, the awards usually take place in the fall and winter instead of summer, and often start at 9am. Both in the year and start a few hours earlier. Besides, Vietnamese people have quite interesting culture that they often drink beer after finishing. That's what I have never seen in Japan. "

For Japanese people, jogging is not just a sport to exercise, win themselves. Jogging as a daily way of living with Tamae, Nemoto or other Japanese athletes. Since World War II, this sport has been considered as an activity with the spirit of Japanese discipline as well as reflecting the efforts of the entire people in the process of building the country. As a result, the number of Japanese legs running as well as the quality of Runner the land of the rising sun has been constantly improved.

In the ranking of 1000 world marathon athletes, Japan only ranked third, after Kenya and Ethiopia. Yuki Kawauchi, the first Boston Marathon, is also an office worker. Therefore, the regular appearance of Japanese runner at the metasports marathon system not only brings new breeze, but also increases competitiveness and attractiveness to the tournaments.
