Japan continues marathon unsuccess in Tokyo...

For the second week in a row, a Tanzanian runner has won a major Japanese marathon. Today, Zebedayo Bayo, who was third in 1998 New York City Marathon (2:08:51), won the 2003 Tokyo International Marathon in 2:09:07. Only last week in Oita, Samson Ramadhani of Tanzania won the Beppu-Oita Mainichi marathon in 2:09:24.
