The “sand” used in the beach volleyball competition of the Tokyo Olympics has arrived at an elementary school in Yoshitomi Town, Fukuoka Prefecture. After noon on the 20th, at the playground of Yoshitomi Elementary School, the opening work of about 8 tons of sand brought in by truck was underway. At the beach volleyball venue of the Tokyo Olympics, what spread to the sandbox is the so-called “legacy sand” that sucked in the sweat and tears of the athletes. Yoshitomi Town took over from the Olympic Committee because we wanted the children to feel it and to pursue their dreams and hopes. This time, Yoshitomi Town has taken over 360 tons of sand and will bring it to 7 sandboxes including childcare facilities and elementary and junior high schools in the town. It will be used in Buzen City and Kanda Town in the future. ..
