Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the "Yoshioka Takanori Memorial Izumo Athletics Competition" to be held in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture on April 18 and 19 has been postponed.

This tournament is one of the Japan Grand Prix series to be held in various parts of Japan. According to the executive committee, about 1,000 athletes such as Yoshihide Kiryu and Shuhei Tada who are men's short distances were scheduled to participate.

The tournament will reach 74 times, but this is the first time it will be postponed, so I would like to aim for holding this year while watching the situation.

The Executive Committee commented, "I am very sorry for the players who have been preparing for participation. I hope that this situation will improve and converge as soon as possible and that we can play with confidence." .
