On September 27, in the women’s javelin final at the Asian Games held at Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan’s Kitaguchi Haruka threw 62.70m to take silver. Gold went to 18-year-old Yan Ziyi of China, who blew away the field with a Games-record 70.46m on her very first throw. Takemoto Sae took bronze, giving Japan two medals in the event. On 5channel threads, many posters voiced excitement over how far Yan’s mark might go in the future, while others posted comments mocking her build — reactions to the result were decidedly mixed.

On September 27, the women’s javelin final of the athletics competition at the 20th Asian Games (2026/Aichi-Nagoya) was held at Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium in Nagoya, where Japan’s Kitaguchi Haruka won silver with a throw of 62.70 meters.

Kitaguchi opened with 56.48m on her first attempt, then moved up to second place with a day’s-best 61.89m on her fourth throw. She then produced her best mark of the day on her final attempt.

However, China’s Yan Ziyi had already thrown a Games-record 70.46m on her very first attempt. She passed on her remaining throws, but even Kitaguchi’s best couldn’t reach that distance.

On the night of September 27, 2026, a live-commentary thread went up on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyou G” board for a boxing card streamed on Amazon Prime Video. The card featured Inoue Naoya’s interim super bantamweight title bout and a fight from Nasukawa Tenshin, and viewers ranged widely in their chat — guessing the broadcast start time, predicting how the fights would play out, and more. While praise for Inoue Naoya’s strength poured in throughout the thread, opinions on Tenshin split between “he’s got nothing left to grow into” pessimism and hope for a one-punch comeback.

On September 27, 2026, Takuma Inoue and Tenshin Nasukawa faced off in their rematch (bout 2), a 12-round WBC bantamweight title fight. The same card featured undercard bouts pitting Tomoya Tsuboi against Marajika and Nishida against Sam Goodman, both of which also went the distance to a decision. On 5ch, comments like “Enough with two sketchy decisions in a row!” started popping up, with some posters voicing concern that the scoring in the Tsuboi fight favored a fighter from the Teiken stable. As for the main event, some pointed out that Nasukawa’s kickboxing background gives him a different sense of range, while others predicted Inoue would win a decision on experience.

In a WBC world bantamweight title bout, champion Takuma Inoue turned back the division’s No. 1 contender, Tenshin Nasukawa, by decision. Inoue was floored in the 7th round, but he controlled the rest of the fight and secured his first title defense with a decision win. Nasukawa, making his first title challenge after publicly declaring he would “knock out Takuma Inoue,” fell short of his goal. On 5channel, discussion grew heated over the scoring system — why Nasukawa lost despite landing a knockdown — and over whether the ropes moments in rounds 2 and 7 were “slips” or fighter-hurting knockdowns, with opinions sharply divided.

Japan’s amateur (corporate-league) baseball team faced South Korea in the Asian Games final on the 27th, falling 1-3 to finish with the silver medal. South Korea has a system granting military service exemptions to tournament winners, and this title marked their fifth consecutive exemption-winning victory. It was a tough battle: starter Arata Higuchi allowed a run in the 2nd inning, while Japan’s batters were held to just one hit through five innings by South Korea’s starter Kwak Bin. On 5ch, discussion spread over why Japan fields a squad of corporate-league amateurs rather than pros, and how much this tournament even means in the first place, spiraling into cross-sport bickering with comparisons to Japan’s U-21 national soccer team.

Japan’s national baseball team “Samurai Japan,” represented by its amateur (corporate-league) squad, faced South Korea in the final of the 20th Asian Games at Toyohashi Citizen Stadium on the 27th and lost 1-3, finishing the tournament with the silver medal. South Korea, playing for military service exemptions, claimed its fifth straight title.

In the 2nd inning, starter Arata Higuchi (Oji), pitching on one day’s rest, gave up a run when outfielder Moon Hyeon-bin delivered a timely hit with a runner on second and no outs. Japan’s lineup, meanwhile, was shut down by South Korea’s ace starter Kwak Bin, managing just one hit while striking out seven through five scoreless innings.

Tomoya Tsuboi (30), of the Teiken stable and the first Japanese boxer ever to win an amateur world championship gold medal, challenged for the vacant WBC world super flyweight title in only his 5th professional fight — but lost by decision to South Africa’s Ricardo Marajika (28). Tsuboi’s bid to become champion in a fight count that would have tied Japan’s fastest-ever climb to a world title fell short, not helped by bleeding from an early accidental head clash. On 5ch, opinions split between those calling the decision fair (“he was clearly outpointed in the second half”) and those reassessing the hype around him entirely (“he was just overrated — his skills weren’t there”).

◇Pro Boxing ▽ WBC World Super Flyweight (up to 52.1kg) Title Bout, 12 rounds — Winner by decision: No. 2 contender Ricardo Marajika, over No. 1 contender Tomoya Tsuboi (Sept. 27, Toyota Arena Tokyo)

Tomoya Tsuboi (30, Teiken), Japan’s first amateur world championship gold medalist and the WBC’s No. 1-ranked contender in the division, failed to capture the title. Bidding to become world champion in just his 5th pro fight — a mark that would have tied the Japanese record for fastest ascent to a title — Tsuboi entered the WBC world super flyweight title bout but was pushed hard and lost a decision to No. 2 contender Ricardo Marajika (28, South Africa). The result leaves Tsuboi’s record at 3 wins (2 KOs), 1 loss and 1 no-contest, while Marajika improves to 18 wins (12 KOs) and 2 losses.

The Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament reached its final day on the 27th, with yokozuna Onosato defeating ozeki Aonishiki by a thrusting force-out to clinch his sixth career championship — his first in six tournaments — finishing 12-3. Onosato lost to maegashira Takayasu on day four but then reeled off eight straight wins to build a commanding lead, only to drop back-to-back bouts to ozeki Kirishima on day 13 and ozeki Kotozakura on day 14, letting Aonishiki draw level at 11-3. In the tournament’s first final-day showdown between tied leaders in 11 tournaments, the yokozuna finally shoved his way to victory. On 5ch, many posters praised Onosato’s grit as a yokozuna, while others weighed in on the ozeki-vs-ozeki bout and speculated about next tournament’s ozeki and yokozuna promotion pushes.

The final day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament was held on the 27th at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan, where in the tournament’s closing bout yokozuna Onosato (26, Nishonoseki stable) defeated ozeki Aonishiki (22, Ajigawa stable) to finish 12-3 and claim his sixth career title — his first since last year’s Autumn tournament. It’s his third straight title at the Autumn meet, a tournament he clearly has a knack for, and his fifth Emperor’s Cup won at the Ryogoku Kokugikan.

It was a decisive win: a sharp charge at the face-off, a two-handed thrust to push his opponent back, and a relentless drive forward to force him out.

This tournament, Onosato lost to maegashira Takayasu on day four but bounced back with eight straight wins. He briefly built up a two-win lead, but then suffered a shocking pair of back-to-back losses — an underarm-throw reversal to ozeki Kirishima on day 13, followed by a slap-down loss to ozeki Kotozakura (28, Sadogatake stable) on day 14. That let Aonishiki, who had rallied with eight straight wins of his own after dropping three in a row from day four, draw level at 11-3. But in the end Onosato showed true yokozuna grit, winning the tournament’s first final-day showdown between tied leaders in 11 tournaments.

On September 27, the Sprinters Stakes (G1) at Nakayama Racecourse was won wire-to-wire by 9th-favorite Puro Magic. Jockey Nozomi Iwata picked up his second career G1 win aboard the horse. The upset victory over the top favorites sparked a wave of surprised reactions on 5ch — comments like “Autumn’s first G1 already turned into chaos” and “I bet ¥100 and it came back ¥2,400” — while others focused on the race itself, questioning the riding through the race, the use of the whip before the start, and the severity of the penalty points for interference.

The Sprinters Stakes, contested by five G1-winning horses vying for the title of fastest sprinter, was won by Puro Magic.

▼About the Sprinters Stakes: Established in 1967 as the only graded stakes race for 4-year-olds (now categorized as 3-year-olds) and up run over 1,200m on turf. It was upgraded to G1 status in 1990 and became an international race in 1994. After becoming a G1, it was initially held at Nakayama in late December, before being moved to the final week of Nakayama’s autumn meet in 2000.

On the 27th, at the press conference held the day before the match against Venezuela, Japan national team manager Hajime Moriyasu criticized a report by some media outlets claiming that Ritsu Doan and Kento Shiogai had a heated clash during individual training at the World Cup, saying “the players themselves are getting hurt by this,” and made an unusual request to the assembled press. The report was reportedly based not on the source’s own eyewitness account but on secondhand information. Opinions on the forum thread split into two camps: those who felt the more the manager denies it, the more it seems true, and those who saw it as a legitimate request to stop reporting built on flimsy hearsay. Views also differed over just how much influence the reporter behind the story really has.

Japan national team manager Hajime Moriyasu attended the pre-match press conference on the 27th ahead of the Venezuela match (28th, at E Peace [stadium]). At the end of the conference, Moriyasu opened with, “I have one request,” and denied a report from some media outlets that hinted at a rift between Ritsu Doan and Kento Shiogai.

“I know you all have freedom of the press, but there’s a report from a certain outlet singling out these players, and it’s ending up hurting the players themselves. I really wish you’d stop publishing things that hurt the players,” the manager said. He continued, “It’s been reported that during individual training at the World Cup, Doan and Shiogai got heated, with Doan supposedly saying something pretty harsh to Shiogai. I’d like you to verify that, but the report was published as secondhand information — the source didn’t witness it themselves, they heard it from someone else. When we train, there are times players do clash with each other. In those moments there’s constructive back-and-forth, but neither side has ever intimidated the other or used abusive language,” he explained, laying out his request.

He also noted that in this case, it wasn’t the players who raised the issue — the request to the press was made at Manager Moriyasu’s own discretion. The manager said, “There’s a lack of respect for the players,” and asked for more consideration going forward.

This actually matters.
It's on Moriyasu too for letting that up-close media coverage happen in the first place.

On day 14 of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament, Yokozuna Onosato lost to Ozeki Kotozakura, picking up his second defeat of the tournament and falling to 3 losses. Meanwhile, Ozeki Anseiki held the line at 3 losses by beating fellow Ozeki Kirishima in an all-Ozeki bout, sending the championship race down to the final day, where Onosato and Anseiki will face off directly in the tournament’s closing bout. Maegashira Asanoyama also lost, dropping to 4 defeats and falling out of title contention. On the 5ch Geinou/Sports News+ board, threads mixed laments over the Yokozuna’s fragility in crunch moments with excitement over a rare tied-record showdown.
