Remotely navigate the beloved Chuo-ku, rosemary sea.
The Japanese national team of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics walked in Nihonbashi on November 30 (Sat).
This is the "TEAM JAPAN Support Thanksgiving Event".
On the day, Rosmari prepared early in the morning to cover this event.
On the day, both the players and the audience wanted sunny and windless, it was a little cold.
We will introduce the state of the parade in two parts.
This is the first part.

However, on November 11, we announced that "We will hold a support thank-you event by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Japanese Athletes 'TEAM JAPAN' in Nihonbashi on November 30."
The purpose of the event was to say, "For example, in Rio, there was also the aspect of fostering momentum for the Tokyo Olympics, but this time it was an event that expresses gratitude to those who supported us."
At 9:30 am, a departure ceremony will be held at Oya Square on the Cored Muromachi Terrace, and players will walk back and forth on Chuo-dori in Nihonbashi 700m from Muromachi Minami 3-chome intersection to Nihonbashi Kitazume.
It seems that the participants this time were not limited to medalists, but all players called out.
Previous medalist parade ①
The 2012 London Olympics medalist parade ...
On August 20, 2012, the London Olympics medalist parade was held in Ginza.
There were 71 medalists, including 7 gold medalists, and the audience was about 500,000.
Medalists on seven vehicles from 11:00 am to 20 minutes from 11:00 am, about 1 km on Chuo-dori, from Ginza Street Exit to Ginza 8-chome.
Saori Yoshida of wrestling, Kohei Uchimura of gymnastics, Hoki Sawa of soccer, and Kaoru Matsumoto of judo were the first medalist parade in history.
I was waving my hand to the large audience with gratitude to those who supported me.
By the way, Rosmari did not match the lunch break on the day, and could not be viewed.
Moreover, I became a correspondent four years later.
Previous medalist parade ②
The 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Medalist Parade is ...
(The image shows Saori Yoshida and others at the Rio Olympic and Paralympic medalist parade.)
I have introduced the Rio Olympics and Paralympics before.
⇒ October 12, 2016 “Rio Medalist Parade and Nihonbashi”
Unlike the last London, the Rio Parade is also attended by Paralympic medalists.
At 10:40 am on October 7, 2016, we moved from the special stage in front of Toranomon Hills to the Ginza 8-chome intersection, and from there, paraded 2.5km to Nihonbashi in about 45 minutes.
Participating were 50 Olympic medalists and 37 Paralympic medalists.
There are about 800,000 spectators and 300,000 more than London, but it is natural that the parade distance is 2.5 times that of London.
Still, Shohei Otani's Dodgers championship parade during this time is more than three times that of 250,000.
As I mentioned in the article at that time, wrestling Saho Yoshida, men's gymnastics team, table tennis player Ai Fukuhara and Yoshizumi Ishikawa, badminton player Takamatsu pair, swimmer Kosuke Hagino and paraland player Sae Tsuji I took a picture under the bridge in Nihonbashi.

If it is normal after the Tokyo Olympics, a medalist parade would have been held here in Chuo-dori.
It is presumed that the crowd of 10 million people gathered.
Unfortunately, from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of COVID-19, we did not even plan a parade.
By the way, Rosmari has applied for Citycast, a volunteer at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The city cast was mainly responsible for information on spectators inside the stadium, around the stadium, near the nearest station, etc., and for tourist information for people from all over the country and overseas.
However, as you all know, the role has been greatly reduced, it is COVID-19 countermeasures.
I've been waiting for you very long.

This time, unlike the last time and two times before, it is a walking parade instead of riding a vehicle.
The parade starts at 9:30.
There are about 100 players on this day.

This time, Mr. Akama turned his smile.
・・Oh? What is Yuto Horime, a skateboard boy?
4 people from Yuto Horime.
I had you watch the parade with Rosmari ...
At last, Horime Yutokun did not appear.
Are you feeling ill when you are in Japan?
Before the parade started, all four people were interviewed by the TV station information program.
※ All four people were happy to accept the image posting.
I would like to mention one more thing.
As you can see in the image, the staff is not waiting only in front of the rosmary.
All the others have a staff member.
I don't know why, but I was very lucky.
・・This time is so far. Please look forward to it.
We also have many athletes in the second part.
