On June 18, the JRFU submitted a withdrawal notification to the Japan Sport Association as the spending of the contributions made to Keirin bicycle racing for sending athletes to the Olympics would run counter to the amateur spirit. This notification was approved on July 3. While supporting this withdrawal, the rugby section of the All Japan High School Athletic Federation aspired to have high-school students participate in the National Sports Festival. A heated discussion with the Japan Sport Association finally led to accepting the participation of high-school students as an exception on August 12.
