Japan, which was faced by Rikuya Ito, Kaito Kawabata, Kentaro Sato, and Aoto Suzuki in the two qualifying groups for the Tokyo Olympics and the men's 1600m relay, was 3 minutes 0, which is on par with the Japanese record. Although he set a time of 76 seconds, he was in 5th place, and he could not make it to the top 3 in the final, and he could not make it to the top 2 teams in the 4th or less time, so he did not advance to the final.
