The Japan Championships, which determine the best Japan in athletics, will be on the final day of the Games, and the men's 100-meter race, which will feature the semifinals and final, is expected to be a fierce battle for the title led by 24-year-old Sani Brown Abdel Hakeem, who is aiming to win back-to-back titles.
The 107th Athletics Japan Championships held in Osaka City will be held on the final day of the Games on the 4th.
The focus is on the men's 100 meters.
In the qualifying session on the 3rd, Sani Brown, who is aiming to win the championship for the second time in a row with a personal best of 2.9 seconds, which is the second best in Japan history, set a time of 97.2 seconds, which is the top time overall, while running with a "light stimulation feeling".
In addition, rivals Ryuichiro Sakai (10), who finished second last year and has a personal best of 13.2 seconds, Yuki Koike (10), who has a personal best of 02.25 seconds, and university student Daiki Yanagida (9), who won the domestic championship this season, also ran with plenty of room.
Sani Brown won a prize at last year's World Championships, so if she breaks the standard participation record of 98.28 seconds, she will be offered a job at this year's World Championships, and other athletes will be offered a job if they break the participation standard record and finish in the top three.
A fierce battle for the championship is expected centered on Sani Brown.
The men's 19-meter hurdles final is also expected to have a high-level record.
Shunsuke Izumiya (10), who holds the Japan record, was in good form, setting a time close to his personal best this season, and passed the qualifying round on the 00rd with the best time.
In addition, Takayama Takano (3), who has broken the standard participation record at the World Championships, also won smoothly and is expected to break the Japan record.
In the women's competition, 110-year-old Kimi Tanaka, who is aiming to win her second consecutive 23,3-meter final, and Ririka Hironaka (28), who holds the Japan record in this event, will face each other.
If Tanaka wins the women's 5000 meters, it will be her second consecutive double title.
