TOKYO, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- Japanese media on Monday expressed dissatisfaction on Japanese players' performance on the Winter Asian Game held in Changchun city, where Japan finished with 13 golds.

    The number of 13 gold medals is a big drop compared with its achievement on the Aomori Winter Asian Game in 2003.

    The media were especially disappointed on the results from ice items. Top Japanese players got 6 medals on fast track skating, only one third of the number in the Aomori Game.

    "From the world-class criteria, Japan could only get 50 points on the basis of 100 points," the Mainichi Shimbun quoted an official from the Japanese team as saying, adding that the prospect for the Japanese team on the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver is not optimistic.

    The newspaper pointed out that the enterprise-based training institution for players was limited.

    Preferring Chinese players' training experience in Canada, some Japanese sports officials said Japan should learn from China and build up its own training bases overseas.
