Women's 5000m should be interesting. How will Haruka Kokai perform after her disappointing Olympics? Hopefully, she will bounce back well. This year has not been the best in terms of improvement for her. The Panasonic athletes have been strong this year so Nanami Watanabe's performance will also be one I'll follow closely. You have to hand it to Yuka Ando, she isn't praised much but she is very consistent. I expect a strong showing from her once again. 800m and Rin Kubo will be the other race I'm most interested in. Looking forward to this and Mizuki Matsuda's run in the Berlin Marathon.
