AthReebo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kagetoshi Kanazawa) held “AthTAG GENKIDAMA AWARD 2024” on November 7, 2024 at Ariake Central Tower Hall & Conference. This pitch contest is held with the key message of “don’t let money give up on your dreams” with the aim of supporting the activities of athletes who are taking on the challenge of competing on the world stage. This time, the event was held for the second time, and track and field long jumper Hiromichi Yoshida won the grand prize, receiving 2 million yen to support his activities. A track and field athlete has won the grand prize for the second year in a row, taking the baton from track and field athlete Taiki Hongo, who won the same award in 2023, making a good start for the Tokyo World Athletics Championships. Yoshida currently holds the third-highest long jump record in Japan. I had hoped to participate in a training camp in New Zealand with my sights set on the Paris Olympics in 2024, but I had the bitter experience of not being able to raise the funds for the expedition. During the presentation, they declared that they would use the support funds from this event to cover overseas expedition expenses, and aim to win a prize at next year’s World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, as well as a gold medal at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Enmura Fujita, a boxer, won both the supplementary award and the power of support award. The “Power of Support Award” is given to the athlete who has received the most support through crowdfunding, and Mr. Fujita collected 543,500 yen in support.

We want to accumulate GENKIDAMAs that we have received from companies and deliver them to the athletes who will lead the future.We will definitely collect even bigger GENKIDAMAs next year, so please look forward to our future activities.” I made a strong comment.

I don’t have the ability to win a gold medal at the Olympics right now. However, the talent is there. The support funds from this activity will be used for future overseas expeditions, with the aim of winning a gold medal at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Next year, the Tokyo World Athletics Championships will be held at the National Stadium. I would like everyone to grab a drink, put their best faith in me, and pour the beer down.

Now that I have the opportunity to challenge everyone, I think the most important point is not to stop here, but to see what we can show from here. I hope you will continue to watch over me. Thank you very much. [Nomura Tadahiro Award] Prize money: 1 million yen Judo player Kouaki Kawabata Image

I would like to use the money I received for overseas travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and the cost of accompanying a coach to gain as much experience as possible at international competitions. First of all, I will aim to achieve a top 8 or better result in the Junior Grand Slam, and ultimately aim to participate in the Olympics.
