gamera 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Now Women's Tokyo intl' marathon is on air, I often think about it why women's marathon is more exciting to watch than men's one. When women have a match, they express their emotion a lot more than men. When one starts spurt some at some winning chances, the others also try not to get apart from her with a furious looking. When men's marathon runners do that, I don't find their face look like that, just as usual. Very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I just opened a marathon thread as well http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/8/5161.html More about running things though! Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ah, the orange. I didn't notice that. But I think the subject is a bit different? Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yes, no problems! Funny we posted almost the same time. Those long long docomo ads are VERY annoying. I'm sure lots of people watching will agree. Seems a strange strategy to annoy people more than usual with ads. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 I think the best way for us is to be able to keep watching the race in any case. So I prefer it to have ads at the lower screen together with race at the upper screen for example. Then we will never miss any moment. If the race is cut for the ads, it's sure annoying.

TheOrange 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yes. Of course I understand the need for ads but those docomo ones are just so long - much longer than normal ads..... so I can only see them really annoying almost everyone. Like I said seems a strange strategy on their part. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 You said no problem but with an angry face! Quote: Funny we posted almost the same time This is first time for me to have this matter. Maybe seldom happens? Yeah if there were some change while ads go on, we can not find what happened and why which is really frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Takahashi is running in the top group! But Alem is also in it. Has Pola Radcliffe ever run in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
yodel 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Why is her nickname "Q chan"? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Perhaps because she sometimes looks like "Obake no Qtaro" when she was interviewed, I am not sure. Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 So she likes being compared to that?!? Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 is obake no qtaro a white condom? I know what you mean gamera. I always seem to end up watching womens marathons. Paula Radcliffe over summer was very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Merry Jim - no idea but I guess she doesn't mind even if people compare her to q-chan. Did you watch her winning interview? That was really impressive. She said she had lost the Tokyo Women's marathon 2 years ago - 2nd place, Alem was the winner - and this time it was a "revenge". She said she wanted people ( especially hopeless people in the dark)to have a hope for their life by showing her revenge. Probably she must have had a lot more difficulties than we suppose. 69 - I don't think Qtaro is! Exciting if Radcliffe, Ndereba, Simon, Q-chan and Noguchi Mizuki run together in a race.
