Strength Performance Show
The athletic meet held at Sapporo Agricultural College, famous for Dr. Clark, was called the Strength and Skill Meet. The event said to be Japan’s first athletic meet was the Competitive Games held at the Naval Academy in Tsukiji, Tokyo. Compared with the Competitive Games, the Strength and Skill Meet incorporated events more similar to today’s school sports days, such as stilt races, frog-jump races, and obstacle races. Because it placed strong emphasis on exercise as part of education, some say that the first true athletic meet in Japan was actually the Strength and Skill Meet.
