  "account": "NAGOYA, Japan - Japan's Haruka Kitaguchi secured a silver medal in the women's javelin at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games following China's Yan Ziyi's record-breaking performance. Kitaguchi threw 62.70 meters with her final attempt, narrowly missing Yan's Asian Games record of 70.46 meters. Fellow Japanese athlete Sae Takemoto took bronze with a season-best throw of 62.15 meters. Kitaguchi, who previously set a Japanese record of 68.92 meters at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, expressed disappointment in not being able to reach that height. Meanwhile, Japan also claimed gold and silver in the women's 100-meter hurdles, with Mako Fukube winning the gold and Hitomi Nakajima finishing just 0.04 seconds behind. Fukube and Nakajima shared the podium together, both having advanced from the heats with identical times.",
