Women's Javelin Throw North Exit Wins New Tournament Athletics All Japan Business Team Championship September 19th 17:16
The all-Japan business team championship on land is the second day of the tournament.
Men and women were thrown, and for girls, Haruka Kitaguchi, who holds a Japanese record, set a new record for the tournament and won the championship.
The tournament, which began on the 18th in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, was the second day, the 19th, when men and women were thrown away.
Of these, Kitaguchi, a Japanese ace with a 66-meter Japanese record who can aim for the podium at the Olympics, participated in the women's javelin throw.
Kitaguchi won the championship by setting a new record of 63 meters and 45 centimeters, which set a new record for the first time in four years, showing a dynamic throw from the speedy approach to the final sixth throw.
Kitaguchi said, "It was my second match of the season, but I think I was able to grow up. I'm happy because I was aiming to break the tournament record."
On the other hand, he said, "I've only been able to throw well from the 5th throw in the final stage, so I'll do my best to throw in good condition from the beginning at the Japan Championships."
In the men's javelin throw, Genki Dean, who set a good record of 84 meters and 5 centimeters at the national stadium last month, won the championship by marking 76 meters and 64 centimeters in the fourth throw.
Dean said, "I couldn't evaluate it as a record, but I was able to win the minimum. I want to stick to the record at the Japan Championships."
