The men's 110-meter hurdles are an event that has been breaking Japanese records one after another in the last two years.
It was Taio Kanai who created the opportunity. Two years before he entered at the age of 22, he set a new Japanese record of 13.36 seconds at the 2018 Japan Championships, which was the first time in 14 years to break the Japanese record.
With this as a trigger, the record for the men's 110-meter hurdles moved significantly in 2019.
The main character was Shunya Takayama, who is one grade higher than Kanai.
In June, he set a personal best of 0.08 and set a new record in Japan, and just one month later, he set a new record of 13:30 with another 0.06. Three weeks after that, the Japanese record was shortened to 13 seconds 25 at the tournament.
Kanai, who was completely deprived of the leading role, recovered in 2020. In August, Kanai won the two tournaments in August, when he faced Takayama directly, setting a good record of 13 seconds 27, which is close to 2/100 seconds to the Japanese record.
Even in this year's biggest stage Japan Championship, the two passed each group in the semi-finals at the top, and decided the sex in the final, as the previous reputation.
