CREATE TABLE table_204_160 (id DECIMAL, "rank" DECIMAL, "name" TEXT, "nationality" TEXT, "time" TEXT, "notes" TEXT)

did the spanish player place above or below the japanese player ?
SELECT (SELECT "rank" FROM table_204_160 WHERE "nationality" = 'spain') < (SELECT "rank" FROM table_204_160 WHERE "nationality" = 'japan')
SELECT (SELECT "rank" FROM "table_204_160" WHERE "nationality" = 'japan') > (SELECT "rank" FROM "table_204_160" WHERE "nationality" = 'spain')
