Breaking Down the Potential Japanese Team in Paris pt. 2

An update on standings for Japan's potential team at this summer's Paris Olympic Games. Final team nomination in most cases depends on a top 3 finish at the National Track and Field Championships, but as of this writing events where Japan could or will field three athletes having cleared the Olympic standard are the men's 110 mH, men's 400 mH, men's 20 kmRW and women's marathon. Other events that will or are likely to have a complete squad of three athletes include the men's 100 m, men's 200 m, men's 400 m, men's high jump, men's marathon, women's 5000 m, women's 10000 m, women's javelin throw, and women's 20 kmRW.

Main changes from last week:
  • Koki Ueyama moved up to 36th of 48 in the men's 200 m quota, passing Shota Iizuka for #2 Japanese man.
  • Yuta Sakiyama was 2nd in the men's javelin throw at the Josef Odlozil Memorial in Prague and broke into the Paris quota at 32nd of 32.
  • Misaki Morota was 2nd in the women's pole vault at the Royal City Inferno in Canada and also moved up to 32nd or 32.
  • Remi Tsuruta moved up 4 spots in the women's 200 m ranking to 53rd, now just 5 places out of the quota.
  • Shota Fukuda took 3rd in the men's hammer throw at the Taiwan Athletics Open, moving up from 40th to 38th, still out of the quota of 32 but closer.
  • Shingo Sawa inched marginally nearer to the men's pole vault quota, ranking 42nd with 1173 points.

Junior High School Student Hit by Shot at Regional Track Meet, Suffers Fractured Skull

On June 16 at a junior high school track and field championships meet in Aomori a student was hit in the head by a metal shot put ball and suffered a fractured skull. The incident happened at Kazuhiro Group Athletics Stadium in Aomori at the Tosei Region qualifying meet for this summer's prefectural junior high school sports festival. According to the Tosei Junior High School Athletics Association, the incident occurred just before 8:00 a.m. on June 16 at the warmup track next to the main stadium. While warming up a student threw the shot, which hit another student on the side of the head. The injured student remained conscious and was immediately taken to the hospital, where they were treated for a fractured skull. Their current condition has not been released. A statement issued by the TJHSAA said, "We will conduct a thorough investigation of this accident and strive to ensure that it does not happen again." source article: https://www.aba-net.com/news/news-115882.html

Yamagata Breaks 100 m U20 NR, Yanagita 9.97 at National University Individual Championships

At the high school, university and corporate league levels, national championships on the track are at an odd time in the Japanese calendar. After regional championships in May, college students and corporate leaguers don't have their national championship meets until September right after summer mileage base building for ekiden season. High schoolers have their regional meets in June, then their Nationals in August. The National University Track and Field Individual Championships , aka the All Japan University Track & Field Challenge Meeting, happens more when you'd expect, ever mid-June in Kanagawa, but without a team component, no relays, no team scoring, and missing a few events, it's not a major event and doesn't usually bring in much of the main collegiate talent. Two weeks out from the outright National Championships, this year was an exception at the Individual Championships with seven new meet records. The biggest out of them was in Saturday's women'
