Talk:Japan at the Olympics

Notable athletes

The cumulative achievements of the team are summarized in the tables, but the names of individual athletes are not part of the tables.

Only a few names are mentioned in this article, but there are many others who are also notable.

Perhaps the few Olympians which are now included may be replaced or removed? Perhaps other names should be added?
