Paralympic Gallery Ginza is being held
At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, I think that many people were stuck to the active players with quiet support and watching TV at home. I was persistent and deeply respected for my attitude to do my best without giving up until the end. Thank you very much for your attention.
Finally, the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games will begin on August 24, and before that, a facility where you can study the history and competition of the Paralympic Games was created on the 1st floor of the Ginza Art Exhibition Building at Ginza 6-chome 5-13. The period is until September 5th.
Paralympic Gallery Ginza
When you enter one step, you will see a powerful Paralympic Games exhibition and explanation of the purpose of the event.
IPC Official Game Experience Corner
The staff woman and City Cast taught me carefully.
wheel chair used in the Paralympic Games
On display are wheelchairs for "race", "basketball", and "tennis" from the left.
Recently, I was very interested in seeing a scene of supporting female athletes participating in wheelchair races at NHK's morning drama from the standpoint of weather forecasting.
Boccia experience corner
There was also a Boccia experience corner.
Recently, I've often seen playing with iron balls in a corner of a park.
Commemorative gift The Paralympic Handbook is a must-have
As souvenirs we visited, "Paralympic Gallery Ginza Explanation Leaflet", "Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games Commemorative Pin Badge (magnet type)", "Hospitality Fan" and "Amazing Ginza Walk Stickers representing 9 scenes".
The "Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Handbook" describes the following:
①What is the difference?
The Paralympic Games are the world's highest sports competition in which top athletes with disabilities participate. It takes place once every four years in the same host city in the same year as the Olympic Games. Tokyo is the first city in the world to host the second summer Paralympic Games.
・Symbol of the Paralympic Games
This symbol mark is called "Three Aggitoss". "Agito" means "I move" in Latin, and expresses a paralympian who continues to challenge the limits without giving up even if it is difficult. The three colors of red, blue and green were chosen as the most commonly used colors in the world flag.
CONTENTS of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Handbook
①What is the difference? In addition to the above-mentioned values, significance, and characteristics, the outline of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, the competition and schedule, the competition venue, and the pictogram of the competition to be held are also introduced.
②The highlight is here!
The rules of the competition to be held, class division, category, etc. are introduced.
At the archery competition, "I'm introducing a phenomenal paralympian who was born with no arms and mastered the operation of a compound bow with only feet and shoulders.
"Healthy people who make excuses if they can't do it" must imitate the Paralympians who pursue "how can I do it?"
Ginza is vacant on weekdays.
3 Avoid crowds and go out with something as a set against heat stroke?
I used to go to a dentist in Tsukiji on this day, so I walked in the shade and enjoyed a walk in Ginza through Ginza Mikawaya, Ginza Greeneville, and the back of the building of Toraya under construction in Ginza 8-chome. Take care of heat stroke too.
Postscript: Before I went out, I carried my frozen drinking water, but it didn't melt for about four hours. If you wear socks outside the backpack, it will keep you warm. Please take advantage of it.
