Hello, Tokyo

In a lot of ways I'm more impressed by Morii's 2:09:59 for 8th today than by Kawauchi's win back in the day in '18. Given his pedigree and the fluke conditions you kind of knew from a week out that Kawauchi was going to represent, but this was really out of nowhere. Good on him.

Amateur Yuma Morii surprises with second-ever Japanese sub-2:10 at #BostonMarathon japanrunningnews.blogspot.com/2024/04/morii-…

Not quite beating Seko, but 1 JPN man did break 2:10. Totally unexpectedly it was amateur Yuma Morii, PB 2:14:36. Minutes before the race he told JRN “I’m going to make top 10, whatever time it takes.” #BostonMarathon
