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.
