Sapporo City aims to host the 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. The slogan for the bid was decided and announced on the 27th. “Here is the slogan! ‘Let’s surprise the world, let’s make it winter’!” A working group made up of university students and others has decided on three finalists. As a result of voting from more than 15,000 citizens, “The world will be surprised, let’s make it winter.” Mr. Jin Mohri, Sapporo City Development Youth Executive Committee “It is difficult to surprise and impress people. I think we did something really good.” On the other hand, at the meeting held before the announcement of the slogan, some voiced a sense of crisis about the bid. JOC Chairman Yasuhiro Yamashita says the image of the Olympics and Paralympics has been greatly damaged. 12 people, including the former director of the organizing committee, were arrested. Mayor Akimoto said, “How can we make the tournament clean? In that sense, we will change the operation of the tournament itself.” Opinions are still divided among them. Citizens of Sapporo: “I agree” “I’m happy that the Olympics are coming to Sapporo” “I personally don’t think I can agree because there are too many financial problems.” The location is expected to be officially decided at the IOC general assembly scheduled to be held in autumn after the informal decision is made in March next year. ▼ HTB Hokkaido News Official Site https://www.htb.co.jp/news/ ▼ Click here for information and video provision “Ichioshi !!
