Heavy rain in Osaka on Friday meant most field events at the 107th National Track and Field Championships and 39th U20 National Championships got bumped to Saturday morning, meaning a packed program. So let's get to it. Streaming starts at 9:50 on the general feed above and field-dedicated field below and goes until 16:30, after which it'll be on NHK TV. Live results are here. Meet schedule and top entries in each event are below. Marks listed are athletes' best performance inside the National qualifying window.
One of the main stories today is absences. The men's 110 mH heats field is solid but missing Budapest World Championships entry standard holder Rachid Muratake. The men's 400 mH final is missing Kazuki Kurokawa. Absent from the men's 100 m heats are three of its biggest names, NR holder Ryota Yamagata, former NR holder Yoshihide Kiryu and relay team leadoff runner Shuhei Tada. Men's long jump NR holder Shotaro Shiroyama and Yuki Hashioka are both on the start list, but Shiroyama has been far off his best and Hashioka is still coming back from an injury that impacted his performance at Worlds last year. Those will all still be some of the best competitions of the day, plus the women's 100 mH final and the heats in the women's 400 mH and men's 400 m which all have multiple people in the Worlds quota in their event.
