Toshio KUMAGAI (Hokkaido Prefecture School Children Badminton Federation Chairman)
I hope the players feel grateful that the qualifying rounds took place in such a splendid gymnasium and that they keep wanting to do their best next time as well. I hope they enjoy playing badminton as they aim for their goals.
The Daihatsu staff’s support such as greetings to the players and clean-up activity was really special.
Thanks to the provision of cheering goods and drinks, messages to the players and photo taking, it was fantastic that each player could feel close to the Japanese national players to motivate them to do their best.
- Thanksfully, following on from last year, we were able to assist this year as well. We were impressed again this year by the heated matches of the players.
We cooperated and energized the tournament by distributing sports drinks and cheering goods, so all the primary school students could do their very best.
We would like to continue our support for the players who will be even better next year!
