Comment from Nagashima

In the 10,000m, I raced with the goal of winning a medal. I had a good feeling at the Kasumigaura Marathon and the record meet in April, which I participated in before this competition, so I was confident before the race. I was able to follow the pack with ease in the first half, but at 5,200m, I had an accident where one of my feet was stepped on and my shoe came off. However, I kept running until the end with the sole desire to get on the podium, and I was happy to come in third. This race made me realize once again that it is important to never give up until the end. I didn't suffer any serious injuries, so I've started running again toward my next goal.
