After the successful hosting of the Winter Olympic Games, Beijing will become a double Olympic city that has hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. In response, Masashi Abe said, "Beijing really hosted the [Olympic Games] in summer and winter, which I think is remarkable." ”

"Sapporo has also hosted the (Tokyo) Olympic Marathon (as a division), so it can be said that it is a city that has accumulated experience in both summer and winter ( the Olympic Games) . It is hoped that in the future, Sapporo and Beijing will have various exchanges and friendly exchanges. In particular, I think that as two cities that have experienced the Olympic Games, it would be great to have more and deeper exchanges. Masashi Abe said.

Japan is pushing Sapporo to bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics. Yaji Abe believes that this is mainly due to the support of the citizens. "To convey the excitement of sports to the citizens, that's what I'm trying to do." (End)
