"IBSA Judo Grand Prix Tokyo 2024", the qualifying round for the 2023 Paris Paralympic Games, will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.This tournament is the second largest tournament after the Paralympics and the World Championships, attracting athletes from around 40 countries around the world, and will be held for the first time in East Asia.

In Judo for the visually impaired, matches are always played out in a grappling position with the opponent, and one of the highlights is the tension and fast-paced tactics of the athletes, such as a quick exchange of throwing techniques.

With the cooperation of the organizers, we would like to invite Tokyo residents to watch the game and take commemorative photos with the Japanese players.

We look forward to receiving your applications so that you can take advantage of this opportunity to watch the show.
