2024 January 3
On Saturday, January 6, 2024, the participatory para-sports event "Chalespo! TOKYO" was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. This year's theme is "Smiles and Interactions - Let's enjoy parasports together, with and without disabilities."
At the venue, we set up content that allowed people to interact with parasports and spots that made people smile, allowing many people to enjoy the competitive experience. In addition, we have made it possible for people with disabilities to easily start and enjoy sports through individual consultation and support from specialized staff.
Details of the day can be viewed on the event homepage.
