you're welcome. I was looking for a good Japanese athletics website in English language and I found your weblog. Congratulations It's a very good one and up to date. I am MASATO's friend If you see him tell him my hello. I'm a young coach and my father is the national team of Iran coach.
Maybe we cooperate one day.
Thanks
