Japan masters compete on Tokyo Olympic course

In its 5th year, the Toda International Masters Regatta showed the wheels of Japanese rowing continue to spin. Held at the Toda Olympic Boat Course, the rowing course of the 1964 Olympic Games, at Toda, near Tokyo, rowers from throughout Japan took part in the two-day regatta.
The masters regatta combined with the local ‘Toda Regatta’ which gave the masters rowers a chance to race in open events as well. For the masters regatta there were 48 crews and for the Toda regatta 120 crews took part. This number of entries – made up of high school, college and club teams – was a record number of participants and included some of the best rowers in Japan. The women’s single was won by Beijing Olympian (lightweight women’s double) Miki Kumakura.
Also with Olympic experience was Mr. Nomura who was part of the winning men’s eight. Nomura competed in the Seoul Olympic Games. Olympians from the Tokyo Olympics, Mr. Mandai, Mr. Fukuda and Mr. Murai raced in the masters regatta along with Mr. Horiuchi who was the Japanese rowing coach at both the Rome and Tokyo Olympic Games.
