OSAKA — Collectively, Japanese people will repeatedly utter "good luck" over and over again on Saturday morning for five women: Reiko Tosa, Yumiko Hara, Mari Ozaki, Yasuko Hashimoto and Kiyoko Shimahara.
They are Team Japan's representatives in Sunday's women's marathon.
The race begins at 7 a.m. on Sunday, the ninth and final day of the 2007 IAAF World Athletics Championships.
