Translation
Sprinter Yoshihide Kiryu, 21, of Toyo University, became the first Japanese to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters with a time of 9.98 seconds at the finals of an intercollegiate meet held at Fukui Prefectural Athletic Park in Fukui on Sept. 9.
He was trailing behind at the beginning of the race, but with a tail wind of 1.8 meters to his advantage, he picked up speed in the middle, his forte, and came from behind to win. Kiryu finally realized a long-held Japanese athletics dream for one of the most popular sports of the Olympic Games, giving a boost to the Tokyo Olympics to be held in three years.
With the existing electric timekeeper, which measures up to a 100th of a second, Jim Hines of the U.S. marked 9.95 seconds in 1968, becoming the first man in the world to break the 10-second barrier. A Japanese broke the same barrier 49 years later, something that had been long-cherished.
