Japan took part in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin with a delegation of 154 athletes (220 with art competitions). With six gold medals, four silver medals and 10 bronze medals, Japan took 6th place in the medal table.
The controversial marathon victory
Son Kee-chung running a marathon in 1936
Among them were the Korean-born Japanese Son Kitei (gold medal winner) and Nan Shōryū (bronze medal winner). Both won their medals in the marathon discipline. They were also the first Koreans to win a medal. However, these counted for Japan, since Korea was part of the Japanese Empire at the time. Son Kee-chung was saddened at the award ceremony, bowed his head and tried to cover the Japanese flag on his chest with a small oak tree that was presented as a present. In Japan he is celebrated as a hero. His victory is still attributed to Japan today. However, a statue was inaugurated in the Horst Korber sports center in Berlin , honoring him as a Korean athlete. He was also allowed to carry the torch at the opening ceremony of the 1988 Summer Olympics for Korea .

Tajima Naoto set a new world record in the triple jump of 16 meters, which was only set in 1951.
