2005柏林马拉松- 日本奥运冠军野口水木(Mizuki Noguchi)刷新女子亚洲纪录
日本的2004奥运冠军野口水木(Mizuki Noguchi)夺得柏林女子马拉松冠军，而且创新亚洲纪录；她也成为女子马拉松历来的第三快选手。其他选手在这次的赛程中并没有给予野口水木太大的阻力，她轻松夺得锦标，成绩是2小时19分12秒(历史第六快成绩)，仅位于英国的世界冠军莱德克里芙(Paula Radcliffe)和肯尼亚的恩德里巴(Catherine Ndereba)之后；莱德克里芙在2003曾创了2小时15分25秒的世界纪录、恩德里巴也在2001跑出2小时18分47秒的当时世界最快成绩。
二十七岁的野口水木赛后听闻自己刷新中国的孙英杰保持的亚洲纪录(2小时19分39秒)，感到惊喜。“我非常开心；我赛前的目标是打破日本全国纪录(2：19。41)，把纪录当礼物送给我的教练。如果天气再清爽一些，我想我的成绩有可能逼近2小时18分。”柏林马拉松拥有全世界最快的跑道之一；历届已经创造了五次世界纪录。男子马拉松世界纪录也是在2003年柏林创下的，当时肯尼亚名将保罗。特加特(Paul Tergat)跑了2：04。55。然而，当天清晨的早秋阳光把气温提升至摄氏18度；欲创佳绩的选手面对的难度稍高，尤其是马拉松的后半程。
野口水木已经在她参与的五次全程马拉松中获得四项冠军。“气温的升高让我无法跑出更快的成绩。我在三十五公里处脚开始累了，于是放慢速度。我现在的目标是把成绩提高到2：18，还有在2008北京奥运争取蝉联冠军。我在雅典奥运比赛时，必须根据赛前部署的战术。在这里，我只专注于维持速度。虽然在三十五公里处感到步伐开始沉重，但想起这两个月我承受的所有艰苦训练，就咬紧牙龈,不论如何都坚持下来了。”
她现在还盯上莱德克里芙的世界纪录，不过也承认自己还没有达到破纪录的实力。“我相当渴望刷新世界纪录。但是，莱德克里芙的纪录实在是太棒了；我想我能做的就是一步步逐渐接近这个了不起的纪录。”
野口水木这次的成绩也打破了队友沚井蓉子(Yoko Shibui)去年创造的大会纪录(2小时19分41秒)；同时，这是日本女将连续六年获得柏林马拉松冠军。2000悉尼奥运冠军高桥尚子(Naoko Takahashi)也在2001年柏林马拉松以2小时19分46秒的世界最快成绩获得冠军(当时还没有设置马拉松世界纪录)，成为首位突破2：20大关的女选手。

Re: 2005柏林马拉松- 日本奥运冠军野口水木(Mizuki Noguchi)刷新女子亚洲纪录
News from IAAF (www.iaaf.org) -
Berlin, Marathon - Olympic Marathon Champion Mizuki Noguchi won the 32nd real,- Berlin Marathon, today in the German capital. The Japanese runner clocked 2:19:12, breaking the course, Japanese, and the Asian record, to become the third fastest marathon runner ever behind Paula Radcliffe (Great Britain) and Catherine Ndereba (Kenya). With her time she is placed in sixth position on the women’s all-time list.
It was the sixth win in a row for Japanese women in Berlin. Germany’s Luminita Zaituc took second place with 2:27:34 after she had to stop with cramps about two kilometres from the finish. Asale Tafa (Ethiopia) was third in 2:28:27. Besides Zaituc a number of elite athletes suffered in the warmer temperatures towards the end of the race. In the sun it was more than 20° Celsius. But there was hardly any wind. “If it would have been less warm I would have run 2:18 – that is my next goal besides preparing to defend my Olympic gold medal in Beijing,” said Noguchi.
The men’s race was won by Kenyan Philip Manyim with 2:07:41. While Peter Chebet was second with 2:08:58 and Jackson Koech finished third in 2:09:07 the top five places were taken by Kenyans. Warm weather conditions slowed the elite runners in the final part of the race. More than one million spectators lined the course with its famous finish at Brandenburg Gate.
Noguchi ran her own race with pacemakers right from the start. It was the first ever time she had competed in a mass marathon race. “It was not easy to run against the clock for the first time instead of running against rivals next to me. But I am very happy to have broken the Japanese record. I wanted to do this as a sort of present to my coach Nouyuki Fujita,” confirmed Noguchi.
She reached 5k in 16:24 and then clocked 32:53 (10k), 49:22 (15k), 1:05:43 (20k), 1:09:19 (half), 1:22:12 (25k), 1:38:48 (30k), 1:55:19 (35k) and 2:11:53 (40k). Except for the last part of the race Noguchi had run quite an even pace. And for a long time it looked as if she could run sub 2:19. “But the final five kilometres were really hard. I thought about my hard training in St. Moritz and gritted my teeth,” she confirmed.
It was last year when Yoko Shibui had broken the famous Japanese record of Naoko Takahashi in Berlin, clocking 2:19:41. Takahashi had won the race in 2001 achieving the first ever sub 2:20 time with 2:19:46. Now 27-year-old Noguchi has clocked 2:19:12, lowering the Asian record of Yingjie Sun by 27 seconds. The Chinese had clocked 2:19:39 in Beijing in 2003. Noguchi had the biggest winning margin in Berlin for more than 25 years. Second placed Zaituc, was 8:22 minutes behind the Olympic champion. It was the biggest winning margin in the Berlin Marathon since 1979.
Zaituc had started the race may be a bit too fast. Running together in a group with Ethiopians Asale Tafa and Worknesh Tola, who respectively placed third and fifth in the end, they passed 10k in 33:54 minutes. That would have led them to a time of about 2:23. Zaituc was still well in the race when she passed half way (1:11:51) and 25k (1:25:13). But between 30 and 40k she was struggling hard. “Already at 15k I had the feeling as if something might be wrong with my leg. And I feared getting a cramp. It is a pity since I wanted to run a personal best. But I am very happy to have placed second in this race,” said Zaituc.
Women:
1. Mizuki Noguchi (Japan) 2:19:12 (Asian record),
2. Luminita Zaituc (Germany) 2:27:34,
3. Asale Tafa (Ethiopia) 2:28:27,
4. Melanie Kraus (Germany) 2:34:23,
5. Worknesh Tola (Ethiopia) 2:35:31,
6. Shona Crombie-Hicks (Great Britain) 2:38:42.
7. Anne-Mette Aagaard (Denmark) 2:38:44
8. Anna Rahm (Sweden) 2:39:31
