Wakagi, who will fly to tomorrow
"Athlete Village Village Plaza" is an exchange facility attached to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games Olympic Village built in Harumi, Chuo-ku.
In Village Plaza, there were various facilities such as the function of the Media Center, banks, post offices, courier services, cleaning, general stores, cafes, etc. that added moisture to life in the athlete village.
A remarkable feature of the building was that the framework of the building was formed by about 40,000 wood provided by local governments nationwide.
Now the role has been completed, and the building is being dismantled.
The collected timber has been engraved with the emblem of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and has begun returning it to the local government provided.
Wood collected from 63 municipalities nationwide for construction will be used for activities for athletes around the world, and will return to their hometown.
Wood, which deeply carved memories of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, will be reused in the hometown and used as a material to pass on the tournament.
The strong scent of trees released by the cut wood wrapped around the area.
A new city soon
The building of the athlete's village is also home to people as a new apartment, and a new city will soon be completed.
We couldn't directly know the state of the athlete village during the tournament.
For example, it was interesting because it was an important element for athletes heading to the competition, such as the dining room.
I felt uncomfortable every time I received critical comments under the COVID-19 pandemic.
Japanese cooks with high-quality ingredients and techniques, wisdom, time and pride cannot be passed on to the eaters.
The main dining room was open 24 hours a day.
You can choose about 700 kinds of menus in subdivided areas such as Japan, Asia, and the World.
It also supports a variety of food cultures such as vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal.
A wide variety of fruits and sweets corners are also set up.
Approximately 48,000 meals were served a day.
"I enjoyed various kinds of meals," "Delicious," "I was impressed by hospitality," and the specific reactions of the players dispelled questions and concerns.
It seems that it also played a space where people could relax while there were many restrictions on infection control.
The evaluation of gyoza and Japanese sweets seemed particularly high.
The gyoza that it was delicious. I'd like to try it.
I'm glad it was held.
※ Tokyo Aquatics Center (Tatsumi Koto-ku), a heated battle for swimming-related competitions was held.
While volunteer activities were canceled or restricted, temporary activities were sent off by athletes leaving Haneda Airport and tournament officials.
"I'm glad it was held. It would have been impossible to hold the event unless it was in Japan. Thank you very much."
It was the word of the person who seems to be the press.
I was very permeated to myself, who was shy because of the restrictions on various activities.
Memory of watching the game at the stadium
※ Olympic Stadium (Kasumigaokamachi, Shinjuku-ku) National Stadium. Opening and closing ceremonies, athletics, and soccer were held.
Around the Olympic Stadium, I was able to participate in activities to express appreciation to participants who watched school cooperation.
That day was a program in which the athletics final of the Paralympic Games was held.
"It was amazing. It was cool." "I was impressed with something." "I wanted to see more."
It was an honest impression that the students felt at the stadium.
The unwavering fact that I was in the stadium this summer of 2021 will be a strong memory.
And interest and understanding for parasports will surely have deepened.
You are the protagonist of the next Olympics!
I wrote it on the flip.
The student who noticed had a vicious reaction.
But I'm sure.
※ Ariake Urban Sports Park (Ariake, Koto-ku)
The age of the players who had a great adventure in midsummer is different from you.
The age of the medalist in the Paralympic Swimming is the same as you.
The next leading role is definitely you.
