Comments
Brilliant decision by Juntendo, Jaaf or whoever called for It: he needed world class competition badly as in Japan he has been going through the motion on track given his kick strenght.
He can learn a lot in a race he rarely runs ahead of the world championship.
I don't think suguru osako record is at risk but he can certainly improve his 7.48 PB given the field of athletes there likely making it a very fast race. It's a great test to see where his true potential Is.
