I'm so excited for the 10k - Mao Ichiyama and Honami Maeda are 2 of my favourite women athletes from Japan. It will be interesting to see who wins this one. If Sayaka Sato was in this race too it would have been ever more interesting. But in any case this event will be a must watch for me. Obviously, it all depends where each athlete sits in their training plans so winning here is not the be all and end all.

Nagoya Asian Games Test Event Canceled After Insulation Falls From Venue Ceiling

A section of insulation material fell from the ceiling of Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena, the official venue for squash competition at September's Nagoya Asian Games. There were no injuries, but the city suspended use of the arena until its safety could be guaranteed, resulting in the cancelation of the Asian Games squash test event which was scheduled to have begun on May 14.

The fallen material was 3.6 m long, 50 cm wide and 2.5 km thick, and was found to be waterlogged. The cause of the accident is unknown, but it is possible that it was caused by rainwater leaking in from the roof. The same insulation material is installed across the entire ceiling, and the city plans to check for the extent of the possible flooding. Asked whether the arena will be re...
