On Saturday, April 23, 2022, in the men's 100m final of the Yoshioka Lund Memorial Race held in Japan, Japanese star Shoshu Kiryu won the first place with a time of 10.18 seconds, although it was the first place, but the time of 10.18 seconds was not ideal, and the distance between the Japanese sprint represented by the Japanese first flyer and the Chinese sprint has been clearly stretched.
Kiryu Shoshu, as Japan's recognized first sprinter, is not very ideal in this year's competition, and even in recent years the competition has not been ideal, compared with the recent Chinese sprint, which is very different, in last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, Su Bingtian broke the Asian men's 100-meter running record with an unmatched posture and stood at the top of Asia.
In contrast, the performance of Japan's Kiryu Shoshu is undoubtedly a world of difference, in this year's Intercontinental Tour Silver Label Event - Brisbane Athletics Classic Men's 100m Final, the Japanese first flyer Kiryu Shoshu only achieved a time of 10.41 seconds, although this competition has improved from the last competition, but as the leader of the Japanese sprint only to achieve such results is indeed not enough, because also as an Asian sports power, Kiryu Shoshu should benchmark China's first person, Instead of just achieving results that are inferior to some of the new generation of Western young players, it can be seen that Japan's sprinting career has been far out of China.
Probably for many reasons, Kiryu Shoshu's performance has been declining since the peak of 9.87 seconds and has not been able to break the ten-second mark, according to the development of such trends, China will throw Japan's sprint farther away, I wonder if there is a potential dark horse in Japan that can catch up with the leading Chinese sprint in the future? We can't deny it, but all we can do is to give full play to the potential of our Chinese athletes, and at present, the strength of Xie Zhenye, Tang Xingqiang, Chen Guanfeng and others should not be underestimated, and at present, Japan has no new generation of players who can participate in the World Series, and our young players can already gallop on the Olympic field.
This season Kiryu Shoshu has encountered Waterloo continuously, I hope that the First Flyer of Japan can cheer up and stand on the field to compete with Chinese players, of course, I hope that China's athletics career will become more and more prosperous, athletics strength will become more and more powerful, sooner or later one day can break the racial gap and become the center of the world's athletics.
What do you think of the defeat of Japan's first flying man, Shoshu Kiryu? Will you think he can rise again? Let's wait and see.
