■ Comment from Nishizaki
Only one year left until 2024. After the Dubai World Cup, we have been proceeding with form changes.
This competition will test a new form, and rankings for Paris 2024 in future international competitions * I want to make a start to raise

This will be the first time that the venue, Tsukiji Honganji Second Mission Hall, will be hosting a sporting event.
We are looking forward to the atmosphere at the venue, which will feature a collaboration between the historic temple and parasports competitions, as well as the first matches to be held with spectators in three Olympics.
On the day of the match, we would like to turn the support of everyone participating in the match, both in person and online, into energy and give our all in the match.
And by showing you this, I hope I can be of some help to you all.
