The athletics test tournament held at the National Stadium began in the evening, and Yoshihide Kiryu was disqualified for flying in the attention-grabbing men's 100-meter qualifying.
The track and field test tournament was held in two parts, the morning part and the evening part, assuming the actual Olympic Games, and the evening part started before 5 pm.
In addition to top Japanese athletes such as Kiryu and Yuki Koike, Justin Gatlin of the United States, who is a gold medalist at the Athens Olympics, also participated in the men's 100 meters, and the qualifying was held first.
In the group in which Gatlin and Koike participated, Shuhei Tada finished first in a time of 10 seconds 24, Gatlin finished second, and Koike finished third.
Kiryu and Aska Cambridge participated in the next two groups, and Kiryu flew at the start and was disqualified.
Cambridge advanced to the final at the top of the group with a time of 10 seconds 28 seconds.
Kiryu noticed that he had flown himself, and had a regrettable expression until the decision was made.
Kiryu said, "I made a mistake that I shouldn't make. I adjusted for this tournament and I was feeling better, but I was in a hurry. I'm so frustrated that I want to scream. Today I blame myself so that I can improve again. I want to practice. "
