Tournament prospects
7 runners, junior high school students, high school students, and the general public (professionals/university students) will join the sash on a 48.0km course in 7 sections starting in front of Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima.
This Ekiden, which will be held for the first time in three years, is attracting attention to Nagano, who won the championship three years ago, and Hyogo, who finished second, as well as Osaka, Okayama, and Miyagi.
Nagano boasts eight wins, the most in the tournament, and will be looking for a second straight victory. Soma Nagahara (Seiko Sakucho), who ran fast in the 2nd place in the National High School Ekiden, was appointed in the 1st ward, and Hiroto Yoshioka (Seiko Sakucho), the 5000m high school record holder, was appointed as the anchor in the 5th ward. Yuichiro Ueno, who is the manager of the men’s Ekiden team, is now in the line-up. Hyogo, which has won the championship five times in the past, has three Niizuma brothers (Reo Niizuma, Ryoki Niitsuma and Koki Niizuma) who have won the first section prize in the high school relay road race. Twins) will bring Hyogo the first victory in 10 years. In addition, Komadai’s ace Ren Tazawa, who won the triple crown of the student ekiden, was scheduled to participate in Aomori, but was forced to withdraw due to health reasons.
In last week’s All-Japan Women’s Ekiden, third-year junior high school student Drury Shueiri from Okayama became the new heroine as a rising star. I want to pay attention to whether new players will shine in this tournament

What is Player!
“In this world, sports diversity.”
Player! is a platform where anyone can create their favorite sports, support them, and get excited.
Over the past 50 years, the sports industry has developed through the trinity of mass sports, mass media, and mass sponsors.
Sports with few fans can’t stand national broadcasting, there is no mass media coverage, and mass sponsors are not available, and they are becoming more and more minor sports.
It was during the Showa and Heisei eras that a large gap emerged between mass sports and minor sports.
Is it really a minor sport for the hard-working softball players and the mothers who support them?
Player! proposes a lifestyle with “my sports” instead of “mass sports”. Find a city you like, try living in it, fall in love with it, and enjoy contributing to the excitement of that city. As for sports, it should be fun if you can find your own favorite sport, fall in love with it, and contribute to the excitement of that sport. Player! will create a world where everyone can create their own favorite sports, support them, and excite them. Sports diversity in this world. Player! Official website: https://ookami.tokyo
