The "Golden Grand Prix" on land, which will be the first international competition to be held at the National Stadium since the Tokyo Olympics last year, was held for 14 events for both men and women with the participation of top athletes from Japan and overseas.

Koike "I've put out my strength for the first time in a while"

Yuki Koike recalled the race, saying, "It's been a while since I've been able to put out all my strength and I've made 100 meters. From the middle stage onward, I tried to raise my face and pass all the players in front of me."



Regarding the fact that he fought against Coleman, he said, "I felt that the ground strength was completely different at this time even during the test run, and I was running big with plenty of time. It was important to gain the experience of running in a tense race. I think it will come. "



He said with enthusiasm for the future, "First of all, I would like to retrain and finish my muscles with the goal of breaking the standard participation record at the Japan Championships."
