Life

At the Asian Games in 2002 , she won silver in the 5000 m and 10,000 m . In the latter race she achieved her personal record of 30: 51.81 minutes. Her Japanese record in the 3000 meter run (8: 44.40 min, July 15, Paris ) also came from 2002 , which was only improved to 8: 41.35 min by Nozomi Tanaka almost 18 years later .

At the World Athletics Championships 2003 in Paris / Saint-Denis, she finished eleventh over 10,000 m and 26th place at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. At the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki she came 12th over 5000 m and 11th over 10,000 m. In the same year she set her fourth national record over 5000 m in Rome on July 8th with 14: 53.22 min is still up to date.

Her most successful year so far was 2006. On February 5, she won the Kagawa Marugame Half Marathon in 1:07:26 h. With this she set both an Asian record in the half marathon and a world record of 46:55 minutes in the 15 km road race , which was broken in November 2009 by Tirunesh Dibaba . At the Cross Country World Championships she was sixth as well as at the Road Running World Championships 2006 in Debrecen, at the World Athletics Cup she was fifth in the 3000 m and third in the 5000 m, and at the Asian Games in 2006 she won gold in the 10,000 m.

At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, she finished 10th over 10,000 m and 14th place over 5000 m.

Fukushi was Japanese champion over 10,000 m six times in a row from 2002 to 2007. With the exception of 2003, she also won the national 5000 m title in each of these years.

Her eagerly awaited marathon debut was disappointing. In the Osaka Women's Marathon , one of the qualifying races for the 2008 Olympic Games , she set an enormous pace and led at halftime by 1:10:32 hours and two minutes, but collapsed completely in the last quarter and came in 2:40: 54 hours to finish in 19th place.

At the Games in Beijing, she was eleventh over 10,000 m and eliminated over 5000 m in the run. The following year she was ninth over 10,000 m at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London , she ran the same disciplines as in 2008. In the 5000-meter run , she was eliminated in the preliminary run and in the 10,000-meter run , she finished tenth.

At the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, she was third in the marathon.

On January 31, 2016, she won the Osaka Women's Marathon in 2:22:17 h, which also meant that she undercut the Japanese qualifying standard of 2:22:30 h for the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .

Kayoko Fukushi is 1.61 m tall and weighs 45 kg.
