Asami Chiba Biography

Asami Chiba is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on September 25, 1985 in YabUnited Kingdomi, Japan. Asami Chiba (千葉 麻美 , Chiba Asami, born 25 September 1985) , or Tanno, is a Japanese sprinter who specialises in the 400 metres. She is the Japanese record holder in the event, and has also broken the national record in the 4×400 metres relay on multiple occasions. She is a member of Natureal Athlete Club in Japan and is coached by Kazuhisa Kawamoto.

In 2006, she won the Osaka Grand Prix in May with a season’s best of 51.84 seconds. Tanno did not run at the national championships finals, missing out on a third consecutive win. She competed in the 2006 IAAF World Cup, forming part of the Asian women’s 4×400 metres relay team, but ended up in last place. She finished the year with an appearance at the 2006 Asian Games, taking the bronze medal in the 400 m and finishing fourth in the relay.

She missed the 2008 Asian Indoor Championship in Doha and began the outdoor season with another national record, recording 51.75 seconds at the Shizuoka International in May. She was expected to improve further at the Osaka GP, but wet conditions slowed the athletes and she finished third with 52.55 seconds. At the national championships, which were also the trials for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she beat hurdles specialist Kubokura to the title and was selected to represent Japan at the Olympics. At the Olympics in August, she recorded 52.60 seconds in the qualification rounds, which was not sufficient to progress. She returned to the track with the Japanese relay team. While their time of 3:30.52 was not far off the team’s national record, it left them in eighth place at the heats stage.

She was married in February 2010. She failed to defend her national title in 2010 after suffering injuries earlier in the season, leaving Chisato Tanaka to take the victory. She represented Asia at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup, but finished last in the 400 m. She won the silver medal at the 2010 Asian Games, although the Japanese team missed out on a relay medal as they finished in fourth.

The following year she broke the 400 m indoor record with 53.64 seconds in Tianjin and won the 800 metres at the National Games. At the national championships she came second in the 200 m to Sakie Nobuoka and she also improved her own 400 m Japanese outdoor record. After coming close to her record in the heats, she became a two time 400 m national champion with 51.93 seconds, knocking a second off her previous best. This was sufficient for qualification in the 2005 World Championships in Athletics, but Tanno did not progress beyond the 400 m preliminary rounds. She rebounded, however, at the Asian Championships, winning two bronze medals in the individual and relay 400 m events. Her good form continued as she finished fourth at the 2005 Summer Universiade and set a new best at the Seiko Super Track & Field Meet (Super Rikujyo). At the meeting she finished with 51.80 seconds and although this was some distance behind American Dee Dee Trotter (50.03) Tanno stated that she aspired to break 51 seconds in her career too. She ended the year with a 400 m gold medal at the 2005 East Asian Games.
