In a tough athletic showdown, Japan's Tanaka Nozomi secured the 12th position. Despite the grueling nature of the race, she demonstrated an impressive display of perseverance and fortitude. Immediately after the race, the physical strain caught up with her and she reportedly fainted.

Athletic accomplishments, especially in marathon racing, are widely recognized and celebrated in Japan. The society values hard work, perseverance, and resilience, all of which are encapsulated in Nozomi's performance. The public also sympathizes with her due to her evident physical exertion post-race.

Similar to Japan, sporting achievements are highly valued in EU and U.S. Both societies admire and acknowledge the hard work and dedication put in by athletes. The physical well-being of athletes, though, is a growing concern, with increased discussions around post-match care and recuperation.
