処暑(shosho)

Today is shosho (処暑), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), 24 solar terms. The last one was risshu (立秋) on Aug. 7 and the next one is hakuro (白露) on Sep. 7. Shosho is the time around when the hottest season was over and the heat is retreating. Autumn is coming.

Today is the last day of the 12th IAAF World Championship in Athletics in Berlin. There was women's marathon and Ozaki Yoshimi (尾崎好美) got the silver medal at the time of 2 hours 25 minutes 25 seconds. Congratulations!

In this meeting the most attractive athlete must be Usain Bolt of Jamaica who made world records of 100 metres at 9.58 s and 200 metres at 19.19 s. Today he got the third gold medal for 4 x 100 metres relay. Congratulations!
