Indoor track isn’t much of a thing in Japan, but there’s still a small national team at this weekend’s Nanjing World Indoor Championships. High jumpers Naoto Hasegawa and Sota Haraguchi were the only Japanese athletes in action in final on Friday’s opening day. Hasegawa became the first Japanese man to make top 8 in a World Indoor Championships high jump final, taking 7th with a 2.20 m SB.
