Tokai University anchor Takehiro Arakawa, running 7th, looks back at pursuing Masashi Kada of Chuo University and Takayuki Tanabe of Teikyo University at the 19.9 km point of the 2008 Hakone Ekiden. Arakawa collapsed exactly 1 km later and did not finish. You can hear the runners' coaches shouting encouragement to them over loudspeakers from the trailing vans. After Arakawa looked back (start of video) Tokai's coach says, "Look forward, look forward! The guy behind you is trying too hard and won't make it!"
