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.

Nagoya Asian Games Test Event Canceled After Insulation Falls From Venue Ceiling

A section of insulation material fell from the ceiling of Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena, the official venue for squash competition at September's Nagoya Asian Games. There were no injuries, but the city suspended use of the arena until its safety could be guaranteed, resulting in the cancelation of the Asian Games squash test event which was scheduled to have begun on May 14. It is not yet clear whether the arena will be usable for the Asian Games as planned.
