Three Japanese national champions took part in opening-round competition on the sixth day of the Moscow World Championships. All three crapped out. Them's the breaks, unfortunately.
The men's 4x400 m relay team did better in its heat, delivering a season-best 3:02.43 for 4th but missing the cut to advance to the final on time, Brazil taking the slowest spot in 3:01.09.
