Nanjing World Indoor Championships Day Two Japanese Results


As with yesterday, only one Japanese athlete competed in a final on the 2nd day of the Nanjing World Indoor Championships. Ranked 7th on SB in the field of 12 in the women's 3000 m, NR holder Nozomi Tanaka finished 10th in 8:47.93 over 10 seconds behind winner Freweyni Hailu of Ethiopia.

Yuma Maruyama was also in action on the first day of heptathlon competition, sitting at 11th of 12 at the end of the day with 3135 points. Maruyama's best individual event placings were 9th in both the 60 m and long jump.

In the men's 60 mH Tetsuro Nishi was the fastest time qualifier for the semifinals, running 7.79 for 5th in Heat 2. It would have taken at least 7.61 to get through the semis to the final, but Nishi could only turn in a 7.83 for 6th in SF2 and did not advance.

The Nanjing World Indoor Championships wrap up Sunday.
