Notwithstanding the television time
obtained by our teammates Stefani Jackenthal and Hank
Berkowitz at the 1999 New York City Marathon, the person who
got the most air line and the highest audience ratings is Casey
Yamazaki. For this marathon, Casey was the escort to Japanese
super pop star Hiromi Go.
The event was broadcast live in Japan, and there were multiple clips
of Hiromi Go (with Casey) shown on television over there.
One of Casey's duties was to update the television crew as to where
exactly they were on the course so that they could get their television
cameras ready. Below is the story in Sports Nippon.
