I went to the Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships!!

Hello.

It's already the height of summer heat.

Let's take care of our health so that we don't succumb to the heat!!

Well, this time I went to the World Aquatics Championships being held in Fukuoka.

I would like to tell you about the situation at the venue!!

The lighting was bright, the music was playing, and it was a fun space.

This is Suzuki, the 100m breaststroke swimmer!

It was great to be able to cheer on the Japanese athletes and see them in action up close!!

The World Aquatics Championships was definitely different in scale, and the atmosphere of the cheering and the venue were completely different.

Outside the venue, there were various booths selling food and drinks!

Of course, they also sold swimming gear such as swimsuits, caps, and chamois towels featuring World Aquatics exclusive illustrations.

I was able to enjoy the festival atmosphere.

I hope that I have been able to convey at least a little of the atmosphere to those who are not going to the Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships.

I'll be posting more blogs like this one when I go to games in the future, so please look forward to them!
