. . SPORTS MEDICINE : SCIENCE : RESEARCH : SPORTS: PARTICIPATION: Yamanaka Avid Lifelong Athlete / Nobel Laureate Gave Same Dedication to Sports as He Has to Science . . Yamanaka Avid Lifelong Athlete / Nobel Laureate Gave Same Dedication to Sports as He Has to Science The Yomiuri Shimbun The Daily Yomiuri Online October 10, 2012 http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T121009002976.htm . . Shinya Yamanaka, who won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for developing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, has always participated in sports, from practicing judo and playing rugby to running marathons. . Yamanaka practiced judo as a student at Osaka Kyoiku University-affiliated Tennoji High School. He often suffered injuries, including one or two fractures a year. . Those experiences motivated him to pursue a career in sports medicine--and eventually led him to study iPS cells--Yamanaka later recalled. . Soichi Tanaka, 50, a fellow member of the high school's judo club who now runs a metal products processing company in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, said Yamanaka was basically a gentle person. . "However, he was aggressive when it came to judo," Tanaka said. "Today he makes steady efforts in his research--the same attitude he already had in those days." . Yamanaka belonged to a rugby club when he attended Kobe University School of Medicine. . Yukihito Hasunuma, a 51-year-old doctor who was then one of Yamanaka's teammates in the club, said: "[Yamanaka] was not a smart player, but his technique was good and he was able to keep the other team from stealing the ball. He was a serious student, and returned to his classes as soon as practice ended." . As an amateur marathon runner, Yamanaka compared life to that sport when he gave a lecture at his alma mater in 2008. . "It doesn't matter if you win or lose," he said. "As researchers, we shouldn't give up even when we find other researchers have beaten us to publication. We have to make it to the finish line." . .
