The emergence of Japanese sprinters at the WJ Games in Eugene.
HAVING left Jamaica as a toddler, Japanese quarter-miler Julian Walsh knows little about the rich sports heritage of his birthplace which has produced a number of outstanding 400 metres runners.
The 17-year-old Walsh's (he turns 18 this Thursday) first major assignment came in July at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
He was a member of the Japanese 4x400 metres team that finished second to the United States in the final of that event. He represents the Asia-Pacific team in the 4x400 at the Continental Cup which began yesterday in Marrakech, Morocco.
