The Japanese representatives from the World Athletics Championships, which generated significant buzz when held in Tokyo this summer for the first time in 34 years, will further heat up the winter 'Sports Men.' In the 'Shotgun Touch' event, competitors dive to touch a volleyball falling from a height of 10m before it hits the ground, marking a revival after about three years, featuring elite members of the relay samurai and sports men. The relay samurai includes Yuki Koike, the first runner in the Tokyo 2025 World Athletics Championships men's 4x100m relay, Shota Iizuka, a silver medalist in the 400m relay at the Rio Olympics, Naoki Tsukahara, a silver medalist in the men's 4x100m at the Beijing Olympics, and Shuhei Tada, who holds the Japanese record for 50m and participated in the men's 4x100m at the Tokyo Olympics. Can the elite sports men defeat them? Furthermore, someone from this group will challenge the world record. 'The Strongest Sports Men’s Summit 2025 Winter' will be broadcast on December 21 (Sunday) from 6 PM.
