Ahead of the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics, Japan Sports Agency Secretary Murofushi issued a message calling for not to write anything that damages the dignity of athletes in light of the fact that there were a series of injuries to athletes through SNS at last year's Tokyo Games. ..

At last year's Tokyo tournament, it was revealed that domestic and foreign players such as Jun Mizutani, who won the gold medal in the mixed doubles of table tennis, and Daiki Hashimoto, who won the two gold medals in the gymnastics boys, were hurt by their SNS. I made it.



Before the Beijing tournament begins next month, Japan Sports Agency Secretary Murofushi announced a message and hurt the dignity of athletes on SNS, saying that "the words and deeds that discriminate against athletes who are playing sincerely are never justified." We called on people not to write discriminatory words about words, gender, nationality, or race.



We also ask athletes to follow the etiquette of SNS and give due consideration when making their own transmissions.



In addition, if a player suffers from slander, he is encouraged to use the consultation desk set up by the IOC = International Olympic Committee and IPC = International Paralympic Committee, asking them to consult without holding them.



The Japan Sports Agency plans to send this message on its official website and SNS to inform athletes.
