Two participants in a Tokyo Broadcasting System Inc. athletic TV game show were seriously injured Sunday during filming at a Yokohama studio, TBS officials said Monday.
The officials said Wei Tao, a 19-year-old Chinese freshman at Kyoto University, and Takunori Isa, a 20-year-old junior at Tokai University, injured their cervical vertebrae in separate accidents during a recording of "Kinniku Banzuke" ("Muscle Ranking").
Police said they will question TBS officials on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in bodily injury.
