After the run, in a telephone interview Hattori’s coach Toshinobu Sato commented, „There are a lot of corners and a lot of tight, narrow spots. We’ll have to take care about getting tripped up and falling, especially if it’s a slow first half.“Partway through the run Hattori’s hat was blown off by strong winds caused by a cool low pressure system. „The weather is irregular,“ said Sato of the conditions in Sapporo. „If it’s over 20˚C it’ll be in the hot weather marathon category. It’s not just the ordinary heat of midsummer. It’s something different from Tokyo.“
