Yoshihide Kiryu 10.19, 10.21, 10.34 (Video), Japanese All-Time Rankings 100m

Yoshihide Kiryu of Japan maintains his status of sprint king of the World Youth after recording a new World Youth Record in the 100m in a time of 10.19s (+0.5) during Ecopa Track Games at Fukuroi, Japan on November 03, 2012. At least five major records, which actually set by Kiryu himself about a month ago at Gifu (10.21s) renewed, including;

1) World Youth Record
2) Asian Junior Record
3) Asian Youth Record
4) Japanese Junior Record
5) Japanese Youth Record

In the 67th Kokutai (National Games) at Gifu, Kiryu who will only turn 17 years in December 15, eclipsed Rynell Parson's World youth record (best) of 10.23s set in 2007, and the long standing Asian Junior Record 10.26s held by China's Li Tao since 1986 (Jakarta).

Now, will a Japanese sprinter (finally)  break the 10s barrier soon ?? finally after Koji Ito's upsetting run in Bangkok where he slowed down at last metres, then shocked with 9.99s clocking appeared on the stadium's screen but eventually rounded up to 10.00s ?? Will Yoshihide Kiryu  follow Christophe Lemaitre's feat who became the first whiteman to break 10s barrier ?? but there is other Japanese guy who is closer the 10s barrier, Ryota Yamagata (20 years) who ran 10.07s (+1.3) at London Olympics.

"There will be 'many' Japanese sprinters to run under 10s 100m"
