Japanese National Team Lineup for Doha World Championships

The final roster for Japan's team at the 2019 World Championships starting tomorrow in Doha, Qatar. Women's 10000 m national champion Rina Nabeshima (Japan Post) is a late withdrawal from the 5000 m and 10000 m with a stress fracture.

Based on entry list rankings, Japan has solid medal prospects in just four events, the men's high jump via Naoto Tobe (JAL), the men's long jump thanks to Shotaro Shiroyama (Zenrin), the men's 20 km race walk where the entire three-man squad is ranked in the top four, and the men's 4x100 m relay. Top ten placings look achievable in the women's 10000 m, women's javelin throw, women's 20 km race walk, men's 110 m hurdles, men's 4x400 m relay, and men's 50 km race walk. For the second time this year JRN will be on-site in Doha throughout the Championships.
