At the 2022 World Triathlon Paratriathlon Series Yokohama Tournament, the Organizing Committee, supported the travel expenses for the Ukrainian team players and coaches during the tournament. After the tournament, as chairman of the Organizing Committee, I had the opportunity to talk with the Ukrainian team. As my homeland was hit by the war, everyone who came to Japan with a strong determination for this tournament. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the people of Ukraine in the city who came to support us on the day of the event, and the people concerned who made efforts in this support.
