KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- Japan´s Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) plans to develop and introduce various programs and activities to create a clean sports environment and establish the integrity of sports and society as Japan will host the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As part of the program JADA organised interviews with world-class athletes on the meaning of truth to them and sport under the ‘Play True 2020, Sport for Tomorrow (SFT)´ project recently.
The project had a wide range of athletes from different countries, sports and generations relay their truth messages found in sports and in themselves, a statement said.
The agency highlighted the truth messages from Japanese athletes Akito Watabe (Nordic Combined, Olympic medalist and 2017 World Cup champion) and Minato Oike (BMX Freestyle Park, UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup 2018 champion).
"The highest excellence is like water and changing the way that one is, smoothly and flexibly, according to any circumstance without resistance, " expressed Akito Watabe on his messages about truth in himself.
Minato Oike expressed her truth messages as broadening the possibilities that can be found beyond just having fun. She wanted to be admired by others not only for her freestyle riding but based on who she is.
The interview series aims to encourage many people to discover the intrinsic values of sports and to realise how the truths found by athletes are related to their values. So far 16 athletes with various backgrounds have relayed their messages as for now.
The interview is followed with a quiz challenge page about the project. More information at https://playtrue2020-sp4t.jp.
