We're going to compare each of the Japanese national records for standard Olympic track and field events using the IAAF's scoring tables. With the addition of relays, the original data for this post comes from a list Daiki Kumada posted on his blog and on Twitter.

The level and order of performances with more than 1200 points are already pretty well known, but the lower-level performances may be new to many. It is easy to see that apart from the men's hammer throw and pole vault, both men's and women's field events and middle distance events have fallen behind world standards.

The first column gives the IAAF scoring table rating of each of the men's and women's national records.
