World Swimming Championships Men's Plank Diving: Jo Sakai places 9th, selected to represent Paris Olympics. 31-year-old Sakai was the only player from Japan to advance to the finals.
Sakai started competing at an early age due to his parents who were diving athletes. His specialty is entering the water with little splash, and at his first Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, he was unable to pass the qualifying round in the men's plank diving event.
