Sports Minister announces
partnership with Japanese university
New Delhi, Dec 17
Sports Minister Col
Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
in New Delhi announced a
sports tie-up between Lakshmi
Bai University of Physical
Education and a Japanese
university. “Talks with Japan
about the growth of sports in
India is on. Lakshmi Bai
University of Physical Education
is now partnering with a
university in Japan to promote
sports,” Col Rathore said at the
commemorative ceremony of
the Japan-India sports
exchange programme.
Referring to the judo
demonstration showcased by
Japanese Olympic medallists
Masashi Nishiyama and Misato
Nakamuro, Col Rathore
expressed his appreciation for
the sport and encouraged the
young school children,
specially girls present at the
event, to take it up.
“We saw that Misato
Nakamura, who was smaller
in size than Masashi
Nishiyama, was easily able to
fling him. That is the speciality
of judo. In judo even those
smaller in size or slightly
weaker can defeat opponents
weighing more than them.
Because in this game a player
can use the power of his/ her
opponent in their own favour,”
the Minister said.
The Japanese Ambassador to
India Kenji Hiramatsu also
praised the several
programmes conducted by the
two countries this year ahead
of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“I hope both the India and
Japan will continue to have such
exchange programmes in
future even after the Olympics.”
Masashi Nishiyama, who won
a bronze medal at the 2012
London Olympics, said judo is
a good discipline for self
defence.
“Judo is a wonderful way to
defend yourself and all the
ladies should learn it, good
thing that the Indian government
is promoting it,” said Nishiyama.
