Ayuko Suzuki withdraws from Nagoya Women's Marathon due to an Injury

Nagoya Women's Marathon announced that invited athlete Ayuko Suzuki, a member of Japan's marathon team for this summer's Tokyo Olympics,  has withdrawn due to inflammation of a tendon in her left leg.

Nagoya was to be Suzuki's first marathon since finishing 2nd at the September, 2019 Marathon Grand Championship Olympic trials race.

Suzuki suffered injury last year as well but was able to run the 5th Stage at November's National Corporate Women's Ekiden, helping lead Japan Post to a second national title.
