Asian Rankings Preview and Updates

Mens 100M

Japan’s Yoshihide Kiryu is the top-ranked man with 10.08, Kiryu’s best achievement outside of the 4×100 was his 2014 Bronze Medal at the World Juniors. 

Kiryu is a sub 10 man, having run 9.98 in 2017, and is the Japanese National record holder, having broken Koji Ito long-standing national record for a long time, the Asian Record. World Junior Champion Lalu Zohri (PB 10.18), the fastest man in South East Asia from Indonesia, has run 10.20 so far this year. Zohri looks relatively easy with a rather sluggish start but mowed down his opponents at the Malaysia Grand Prix a few weeks ago. Perhaps the 9.91 Asian Record of Femi Ogunode of Qatar will be strongly challenged by Kiryu.

100M National Champion Anfernee Lopena ranks 48th in Asia this year in the 100m Dash (10.61) and 2015 SEA Games Champion Eric Cray  (10.63, 55th). 

400M

The Topman is 400 Hurdle world record holder Abderrahman Samba who has already timed 44.60 this year. The Bronze and Silver medalists from India at the last Asian Games, Arokiarajiv and Yahiya of India, have run 45.73 and 45.89. 

National 400m Champion Joyme Sequita (PB 47.26) is ranked 42nd for the year with 47.61 so far. Jomar Udtohan, who has now withdrawn due to injury (46.95), ranked 20th. 

2019 Asian Athletics Championships 800m

Qatari occupy 1-2-3 slots in this event. Abdalla of Qatar, the Asian Games Bronze Medalist, leads the rankings with a time of 1:45.60. Hairline 2017 Asian Champs silver medalist has run 1:46.22. Hassan. Fil-Heritage middle-distance runner Carter Lilly has clocked 1.48.95 this year, which ranks him 9th in the Asian Rankings (7th based on the 2 entries per country rule). Unfortunately, Carter is not available for Asian Champs due to other commitments. 

Instead, the Philippines will enter SEA Games Silver Medalist Marco Vilog, whose 1:51.63 ranks him 34th in Asia for 2019.

2019 Asian Athletics Championships 110H

The Chinese are once again at the head of the Asian Hurdling world.  Wen-Jun Xie, the 2014 and 2018 Asian Games Champion, leads with 13.46.  Asian Games silver medalist Kuei-Ru Chen of Taipei ranks #2 with 13.68.  SEA Games Champion Rayzam Shah Sofian of Malaysia ranks #7 with 13.82. And in #12 is Clinton Bautista of the Philippines, the SEA Games bronze medalist with 14.18 so far this year.

The other Filipino in this event, Francis Medina, ranks #19 with 51.52 this year.

2019 Asian Athletics Championships Long Jump

Xing Long Gao, the 2015 Asian Champion, leads the Asian Rankings with 8.18m. Taipei’s National Champion Chia-Hsing Lin leaped 8.14m this year.
