Last year, I wrote a lengthy piece on Talent Identification.

At yesterday’s Oda Memorial Meet at Hiroshima’s Edion Stadium, High School senior Yoshihide Kiryu (and Men’s 100 meter Youth World Record holder) ran a world-leading 10.01 with a legal wind of + 0.9 m/s in the heats of the men’s 100 meters, the second-fastest time ever by a Japanese man.

This also tied the world junior record, and set a new high school national record. 

The Japanese national record of 10.00 was set by Koji Ito in 1998.

Yoshihide-Kiryu

Later, Kiryu won the final in 10.03 with a +2.7 m/s wind. An impressive Ryota Yamagata took 2nd in 10.04.  Click here for complete results.

Here is the video to his 10.01 (+0.9) heats. I think the photographers ran faster than Yoshihide Kiryu to get a clock shot!

Here is the video to his 10.03 (+2.7) finals:

    I think he will. The Japanese season is long and it doesnt end before November. If he can handle the pressure we will sure see him in the final in Moscow

    I think he will be under 10 seconds. And surely he will not be the only one. Vicaut, Gemili, … all these new talents perhaps aren’t able to achieve awesome marks near to 9,85 seconds but surely have the potential to come in the 9,9X mark and to place Asia and Europe in the world of sprint in the middle events.
    They show to the world all is possible.

    Yes I think that he will. He is still quite young and the odds
    that he will get a bit faster are on his side.

    I think he will. I hope he does!

    A month or so ago I had a discussion with a guy via youtube in regards to sprinting; he believes people of African decent are the fastest sprinters due to the mixing of DNA with Europeans and due to the slave trade. I dont agree, I haven’t seen any science in regards to this (it might be out there, I just haven’t found it) but I believe good/great coaching, desire, social impacts and many other variables could be part of the answer.

    All in all I hope Kiryu comes to the fork in the road and goes straight & helps take an already great Japanese sprinting program to the next level! I dont care the color/nationality – I LOVE THIS SPORT!
