At the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics this year, the rules of the competition and the way the judges should be were controversial, such as the violation of the regulations of suits in ski jumping, and the Japan Sports Agency's Secretary of State Koji Murofushi will make a decision at the international competition in the future. He expressed his intention to build a support system that can respond appropriately.

At this year's Beijing Games, the Japanese team won 18 medals, the highest number ever for a winter event at the Olympic Games, and 7 medals, including 4 gold, at the Paralympics.



At a press conference on the 25th, the Japan Sports Agency's Secretary of State Koji Murofushi summed up the tournament, saying, "The appearance of playing hard and praising each other not only won or lost, but also conveyed the value of sports to many people. I would like to pay tribute to you for your hard work despite the restrictions imposed by the new coronavirus. "



On the other hand, the rules of the competition and the way the judges should be, such as the disqualification of Sara Takanashi due to a violation of the rules of the suit in a mixed ski jumping group and the scoring on the snowboard, were controversial.



Regarding this, Mr. Murofushi said, "I think that athletes will not be able to demonstrate their original strength unless there is a system that can support the Japanese side, which is internationally insisted." He expressed his intention to participate in the event and to build a support system that can respond appropriately to judgments at international competitions.
