Japan’s 100m Final Dream: Sprinting to Sleep Instead
In a heartwarming yet hilariously disappointing turn of athletics events, no Japanese runner qualified for the high-stakes 100-meter final on Sunday night. This means fans in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and probably some lucky sushi bars will enjoy a sprint-free moment of calm while the rest of the world watches lightning-fast competitors dash—without a single rising sun athlete to cheer on. The event, which typically ignites national pride and intense caffeine consumption, has flipped the script, leaving Japan’s hopes in the starting blocks and reminding us all that sometimes even the fastest legs end up fashionably late.
