Interesting squad. The 4x100 relay has quite a few faces, will be intriguing to Watch.

Not many chances of medals other than the walk races and possibly relays.

Bumner that seira Fuwa has been out all year with injury basically.

Tazawa will have a valuable experience but either he got back into january form or he is gonna struggle mightily.

I feel like Endo and Miura are on the same trajectory with a realistic chance of breaking National record in 5000 and 3000 SC.
I also feel like if they both went for It they'd both break 1500 NR and have the minimum for world championship.

Interesting races by them this week:
-Miura set 3000 PB in stockholm with 7.47.
I loved his bold approach trying to stay with the field. He went 2.31/32 First k, split 5.04/05 at 2k and unfortunately pausa for It on the last kilometer which usually is his strenght. He was on pace to smash the NR by Osako but he really struggled at the end.
I loved that he went for It though, he had a chance to test himsrlf since in Japan he can simply wait the last lap.

Endo clocked 7.52 on 3000 meters and then 13.35 on 5000 while helping his teammate, both on same day at Hokuren.
Impressive.
