Suguru Osako ( Japanese 大 迫 傑 Ōsako Suguru ; born May 23, 1991 in Machida ) is a Japanese long-distance runner .

Life

Beginnings

Osako attended a middle school in his native Machida and was one of the best long-distance runners of his age on a national level. At the age of 15 he won bronze at the Japanese Middle School Championships in 2006 over 3000 meters in 8: 41.59 minutes. The following year he moved to Saku Chosei High School in Saku , Nagano Prefecture , whose long-distance team was one of the best in the country. In 2008 he stayed over 5000 meters in 13: 58.66 minutes under 14 minutes and won the national Ekiden High School Championship ( English All-Japan High School Ekiden Championship ) in December , a relay race in which his school won the 7th Runners per school cover the total marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers. As the final runner, Osako ran the best time on his 5-kilometer stage. A year later, his school could not defend the title with final rank 4, but this time Osako again set the best time on the 10-kilometer first stage. Two months earlier he undercut the 29 minutes on the track in 28: 57.00 minutes over 10,000 meters.

Ekiden at Waseda University (2010-2014)

After graduating from high school, Osako began studying sports science at Waseda University in Tokyo in 2010 and ran for the athletics team there during his four years. In the first year he won the three most important of the popular University Ekiden races with his university, in addition to the prestigious Hakone Ekiden in early 2011, the Izumo Ekiden and the national University Ekiden Championship ( English All-Japan University Ekiden Championship ) in October and November before. In the Izumo Ekiden and the national championship, Osako contributed the third fastest time on his segment, in the Hakone Ekiden he put his team in the lead on stage 1 with a 30-second lead right from the start. In the three following seasons, his university did not achieve another victory, but it consistently placed in the top 6. At the Izumo Ekiden Waseda landed in places 3, 6 and 4 from 2011 to 2013; the national University Ekiden Championship was finished in 3rd, 2nd and 4th place, and 4th, 5th and 4th in the Hakone Ekiden. Osako himself ran the fastest time in his second year as a starting runner at Hakone Ekiden, two years later he lost a good 50 seconds on the leader in the same position in fifth. In between, Yuta Shitara prevented another segment best time by 8 seconds during the third stage . In the rest of the Ekiden, he mostly achieved one of the three best section times on his stages, with the exception of the Izumo Ekiden 2012, in which he handed over in tenth place as the starting runner after a break-in. From 2011 to 2013 he also participated in the Chiba Ekiden , an Ekiden race between different nations.

Career as a track runner (2010-2016)

Aside from the national Ekiden races, Osako gained his first international experience in March 2010 at the Cross Country World Championships in Bydgoszcz in 32nd place in the U20 race. In the further course of the year he improved over 10,000 meters to 28: 35.75 min and thus traveled to the Junior World Championships in Moncton in the middle of the year with the third-best entry time, but could not confirm his place in the competition in 29: 40.14 min. Over the shorter 5000 meters he already achieved 13: 47.29 minutes in April, but ended up at the end of the field at the Japanese championships in June with 27th place and at the Japanese university championships in September with 10th place. His half marathon debut on November 21 at the Ageo half marathon, which he won with a junior Asian record of 1:01:47 h, went better.

In the spring of 2011, Osako first improved on the track in the 5000 meter run to 13: 31.27 min and then finished sixth in the Japanese championships over the same distance. He qualified over 10,000 meters for the Universiade held in Shenzhen in August , where he won gold in 28: 42.83 minutes with a good 10 seconds advantage over the South African Stephen Mokoka . At the national university championships in September, he won the 1,500 meter run this time and crossed the finish line in 3rd place over 5,000 meters.

In 2012, Osako stayed under 28 minutes for the first time over 10,000 meters in 27: 56.94 minutes. At the Japanese championships he was defeated by this distance in the final sprint to Yūki Satō and thus missed the nomination for the Olympic Games in London , in which Sato competed instead.

In April 2013, at the Payton Jordan Invitational in Palo Alto , Osako came closer to the Japanese record over 10,000 meters one second ahead of Yuki Sato with a time of 27: 38.31 minutes and a good 3 seconds. Despite another sprint defeat at the national championships against Sato, this time he qualified for the world championships in Moscow , where he finished 21st in 28: 19.50 minutes. Even before the World Championships, he achieved the best time over 5000 meters in Heusden with 13: 27.54 min - but 14 seconds behind Sato - which he increased to 13: 20.80 min in November in Yokohama .

In his first year outside the university, Osako lost the final sprint at the Japanese championships over 10,000 meters against Yuki Sato for the third time in a row in June 2014. Otherwise, he now mainly competed in races outside of Japan. In July he ran again in Heusden with 13: 26.15 min over 5000 meters of the season best and in September he set a national record at the athlete level for the first time at the IAAF World Challenge in Rieti with 7: 40.09 min. The following month he won silver at the Asian Games in Incheon over 10,000 meters behind the Bahraini El Hassan el-Abbassi .

In the winter of 2015, Osako also competed in indoor races for the first time. At the end of January he ran in New York City just barely beaten by his training partner Cameron Levins in 8: 16.47 minutes over 2 miles, and with the officially stopped running time of 7: 45.62 minutes he also set a Japanese record over 3000 meters indoors put up. Two weeks later he again achieved another national indoor record in New York at the Millrose Games over 5000 meters in 13: 28.00 min, which he just lost to Hyuga Endo (13: 27.81 min) in February 2019 . In the open-air season he missed his best time at the Prefontaine Classic over 10,000 meters and the world championship standard of 27: 45.00 min as sixteenth in 27: 45.24 min. At the Japanese championships at the end of June, this time he competed in the 5000-meter run, but, as in previous years, after a sprint defeat - this time against Kota Murayama - again failed to win a national title. Instead, he increased this distance in mid-July in Heusden to 13: 08.40 min, with which he wrested Takayuki Matsumiya 's national record of 13: 13.20 min , which he had set himself eight years earlier, and at the same time the still outstanding standard for the world championships in Beijing (13: 23.00 min). In Beijing, however, he did not make it into the 5000 meter final in the following month as seventh of the slower first heat.

In contrast to the previous year, Osako did not play any indoor races in 2016. On May 1st, at the Payton Jordan Invitational , he undercut the 10,000 meter standard for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with 27: 50.27 min . After he couldn't finish his race at the Prefontaine Classic over the same distance this time almost four weeks later, he secured the national Olympic qualification with a double victory at the Japanese championships over 5000 and 10,000 meters at the end of June. In Rio de Janeiro, he first finished 17th over 10,000 meters in 27: 51.94 minutes and, 4 days later, did not go beyond the lead over 5000 meters, like at the World Cup last year.

Career as a marathon runner (2017-today)

In February 2017, Osako improved his half marathon best time in the Kagawa Marugame Half Marathon in sixth place to 1:01:13 h. Two months later he made his debut at the Boston Marathon over the marathon distance , 51 seconds behind the Kenyan Geoffrey Kirui and half a minute behind Galen Rupp he immediately finished 3rd in 2:10:28 h. Back on the track, he defended in the middle of the year his national 10,000 meter title, but missed the norms of 27: 45.00 min and 13: 22.60 min for both over 10,000 meters in 27: 46.64 min and over 5000 meters in 13: 25.56 min the World Championships in London close. In December, he finished third in the Fukuoka Marathon in 2:07:19 hours, which made him the fifth fastest marathon runner in his country of all time.

In February 2018, Osako won the Japanese cross-country championships. In the spring he did not start a marathon, instead he ran in 1:01:56 h at the Half Marathon World Championships in Valencia in March 24th. After a failed attack on the 10,000 meter national record - at the Payton Jordan Invitational in May rose he came out after 6000 meters - in October he finished third in the Chicago Marathon , where he achieved the national record of 2:06 set by Yuta Shitara in the spring of 2:05:50 h behind Mo Farah and Mosinet Geremew : 11 h broke. In addition, he secured a prize of 100 million yen , which was awarded by Japanese companies in the run-up to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo for undercutting the national record in the marathon.

The 2019 Tokyo Marathon went less well than Chicago five months later, in which it passed the half marathon mark in 1:02:05 h with the leading group in wet and cold conditions, but then was unable to maintain the pace and finally before the 30 kilometers -Mark ended the race early. He had his next competition over the distance in mid-September at the Marathon Grand Championship (MGC), the national qualification competition for the Japanese marathon team at the 2020 Olympic Games in his own country, which was announced for the first time by the Japanese Athletics Federation (JAAF) . Osako lost to Shogo Nakamura and Yuma Hattori in a close final in muggy temperatures and thus missed the direct Olympic qualification reserved for the first two. According to the rules of the JAAF, he was able to be ousted by a fast time in three domestic marathons that followed in the first third of 2020 ( Fukuoka Marathon , Tokyo Marathon , Lake Biwa Marathon ), but since the starting point is the fastest in the qualification period for the MGC achieved time, he himself had made it difficult to meet this criterion with the record he had set the previous year.

After more than two months of training camp in Kenya , Osako improved his own national record to 2:05:29 h in the 2020 Tokyo Marathon , for which he received another 100 million yen bonus. At the same time, no other Japanese athlete achieved the performance required by the JAAF, making him part of the Japanese Olympic team.

environment

Osako was trained in high school by Hayashi Morozumi, who became the head coach at Tokai University in 2011 . Yasuyuki Watanabe held this position at Osako's next station, Waseda University. As early as December 2012, however, it was announced that Osako would train in Portland from 2013 in the vicinity of the Nike Oregon Project led by Alberto Salazar . Salazar's athlete Mo Farah had won the two long-distance tracks over 5000 and 10,000 meters at the Olympic Games last summer , and silver medal winner over 10,000 meters Galen Rupp was also part of the project. Osako continued to run for Waseda University and announced that he wanted to join the company team at Nissin Foods after graduating in 2014 . After he started for Nissin Foods in 2014, but continued to train in the USA, Osako left the company team in March 2015 and officially joined the Oregon Project. There assistant coach Pete Julian became his main coach. Even after the project was dissolved in October 2019, which was preceded by head coach Salazar's four-year ban for violating anti-doping rules, he remained part of the athletes supervised by Julian.

Osako's manager is the Italian Federico Rosa.

family

Osako is the second born of three brothers. He is married to Ayumi Osako (* 1989; nee Hashimoto ), who was part of the idol group SKE48 for a few months in 2009 . The couple have two daughters born in 2012 and 2018.
