Hammer thrower Koji Murofushi, 400-meter hurdler Kenji Narisako and women's long jumper Kumiko Ikeda are among the well-known Japanese Olympics who will compete in the 2008 Seiko Super Track and Field Meet on Sept. 23.
But the biggest attraction will be 100-meter veteran Nobuharu Asahara.
The Kobe native, a four-time Olympian, will appear in his final career race in the meet, competing with the other three members that together won the bronze medal in the men's 4×100 relay in Beijing. The quartet, which also included Naoki Tsukuhara, Shingo Suetsugu and Shinji Takahira, picked up Japan's first Olympic track medal in 80 years.
