The "Golden Grand Prix" on land, which will be the first international competition to be held at the National Stadium since last year's Tokyo Olympics, will be held on the 8th, with top athletes from Japan and overseas participating in 14 events for both men and women.
Of these, Yoshihide Kiryu will be absent from the men's 100 meters, but Tokyo Olympics representatives Tada and Yuki Koike, as well as American Christian Coleman, who won the 2019 World Championship, are scheduled to participate.
The players met before the race on the 8th, and Tada said, "I had no experience in international games at the Olympics, so I couldn't run at all. I experienced such a high level game. I want to be conscious of my running at any time, and I just want to stick to the game and have fun. "
On the other hand, Koike said, "I've been playing games and my physical condition has improved, so I'd like to do my best so that I can run the best this season. I want to run aiming for the world championship participation standard record of 10 seconds 05." We have set a goal for the World Championships in the United States in July.
In addition, Nozomi Tanaka, who participates in the women's 1500 meters, won the 8th place in this event of the Tokyo Olympics and said, "I can run at the national stadium for the first time in a long time, so I enjoy the race rather than aiming for time.

Haruka Kitaguchi, the representative of the Tokyo Olympics who participates in the women's javelin throw, said, "I'm aiming for the standard record for participation in the 64-meter world championship, so I'm hoping that I can demonstrate what I've done. So, I'm really looking forward to playing a match at this national stadium, and I'd like to do my best to get more people to pay attention to the javelin throw. "
