Thanks to reader Yvette Graf I have the start list for the Osaka Grand Prix. If you click on the link at the right under “Major Meet Links” you will be taken to the site. It is partly in English, partly in Japanese, but you will be able to see who will be competing and results will be available during the meet.

Top competitors will include Rodney Martin and Marc Burns in the 100 meters (Martin also entered in the 200), Jeremy Wariner, Sean Wroe and John Steffensen in the 400. Jeff Riseley in the 800. David Payne in the 110H. Kerron Clement and Bershawn Jackson in the 400H. Donald Thomas in the HJ, Brad Walker in the PV, and Trevell Quinley and Miguel Pate in the LJ. Women competitors include Sheena Tosta, Tasha Danvers and Tiffany Ross Williams in the 400H and Hyleas Fountain, Grace Upshaw and Brianna Glenn in the LJ.

Shaping up to be a good meet.
