Breaking Down the Potential Japanese Team in Paris pt. 3

An update on standings for Japan's potential team at this summer's Paris Olympic Games a week out from the National Track and Field Championships. Final team nomination in most cases depends on a top 3 finish there, but as of this writing events where Japan could or will field three athletes having cleared the Olympic standard are the men's 110 mH, men's 400 mH, men's 20 kmRW and women's marathon. Other events that will or are likely to have a complete squad of three athletes include the men's 100 m, men's 200 m, men's 400 m, men's high jump, men's marathon, women's 5000 m, women's 10000 m, women's javelin throw, and women's 20 kmRW.

Main changes from last week:
  • Women's pole vault NR holder Misaki Morota won at the Harry Jerome Track Classic at 4.28 m, improving her spot in the Paris quota from 32nd to 31st.
  • Momone Ueda won the Asian Throwing Championships women's javelin throw at 61.32 m, moving up from 23rd to 22nd.
  • Nagisa Takahashi took 2nd in the NYC Grand Prix women's high jump with a 1.87 m clearance, but only moved from 36th to 35th outside the Paris quota of 32.
  • Yuki Joseph Nakajima won the New Life Invitational men's 400 m in 45.49 but dropped from 41st to 42nd in the quota of 48.
  • 10000 m national champion Jun Kasai was bumped out of the quota of 27 by Switzerland's European champ Dominic Lobalu, then fell to 29th when Eritrean Merhawi Mebrahtu cleared the Olympic standard in Spain. Lone remaining Japanese man Tomoki Ota was also bumped down from 25th to 26th.

World Marathon Majors Japanese Entries

We're back from a short summer break. A week and a half out from the first race of the season's four World Marathon Majors races, here's a look at Japanese athletes scheduled to run. Everything right now is about qualifying for the MGC Race, the official trials race for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to be held in the fall of 2027 in Nagoya. The JAAF makes no mistake about wanting to keep its top people racing domestically where it can get a share of revenue from the TV broadcast and race operations, so anyone who decides to race overseas has to do it in a WA platinum label race and hit either 2:06:30 or 2:23:30, regardless of place, course or weather if they want to make the trials. At the same time concessions are make for domestic races, like for example the late-August Hokkaido Marathon where up to 3 men and 3 women can qualify if they go 2:12:00 or 2:32:00. As a result, you get things like last year where amateur runner Yudai Fukuda made the trials by finishing 3rd Jap...
