Nirasaki City Sports Commission
11/3 Niralympics 2023 [Everyone from all over the country gather in Nirasaki! Dai Tamesue as ambassador for the citizen 400m hurdles] Application deadline: October 13th (Friday)
……
The Niralympics is a relaxed sports day that incorporates exercise and laughter, lowering the hurdles for sports and competition
participation, making it easy for anyone from children to the elderly to participate, and allowing everyone to play a leading role. The “Citizen 400m Hurdles”, which Dai Tamesue supports as an ambassador, the “400m Nire”, which connects batons shaped like “chives” after the name of Nirasaki City, and the “Otama 400m”, which is competed in one lap of the track. We will prepare original competitions such as “Relay”.
In addition to providing souvenirs for participants, mascot characters will appear and food trucks will be on hand!
Additionally, a DJ will play music and an MC will liven up the event! Why not challenge your own hurdles (goals) while having fun together?

Mr. Kenji Chiba, Representative Director of Atelier Iroha First Class Architect Office Co., Ltd. I started running the 400M track and field event when I was in junior high school.
When I was in my first year of high school, I witnessed Mr. Tamesue set a Japanese high school record for the 400M at the Yamanashi Inter-High Championships held at the Kose Sports Park track and field stadium. I strongly admired Mr. Tamesue, and with the goal of becoming one of Japan’s top athletes, I became more and more immersed in my beloved track and field. After that, I entered a university that was a strong track and field team, and although I spent every day
practicing, I quit track and field along with the university. Because I set my goals so high, it became difficult to exceed them, and I forgot the true joy of track and field. I realized that it is important to set the bar low and raise it little by little, and that the most important thing is to continue doing it because you love it and have fun doing it. I believe the same can be said about urban renovation, which is now my life’s work.
In fact, the important thing is to steadily overcome low hurdles and continue for a long time. Through this competition, we hope to convey the joy and joy of setting low hurdles and achieving things little by little.
