JADA's "PLAY TRUE Planet: Sport & Art" Booth at Tokyo2020 Paralympic Games as Legacy Creation
TOKYO, Aug. 23, 2021 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --

The Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) will exhibit a "PLAY TRUE Planet: Sport & 
Art" legacy booth at FAN ARENA of TOKYO WATERFRONT CITY during the Tokyo2020 
Paralympic Games. The public engagement booth on "true value of sport" runs 
from August 24 to September 5, 2021. The booth will be activated by "PLAY TRUE 
Creators," including Olympians, Paralympians and university students.

The PLAY TRUE Planet booth showcases ART integrated with every message of the 
world on "true value of sport" and their "Filter Pose," which symbolizes the 
true heart to sport. Those have been collected as part of i-PLAY TRUE Relay and 
PLAY TRUE Relay since 2014, the beginning of the PLAY TRUE 2020 legacy project. 
The Art continues growing throughout the Tokyo2020 Paralympic Games; everyone 
can post his/her message on "true value of sport" -- or true value moment one 
wishes to see during the Games -- via the PLAY TRUE Planet web platform: 
https://playtrueplanet.jp/. As soon as one posts a message, the message can 
instantly be found on the PLAY TRUE Planet LIVE streaming site, meeting other 
messages and "Filter Pose" photos, transformed into ART.

The booth is part of PLAY TRUE 2020's creating the "living legacy" which will 
be carried on even after the Tokyo2020 Games. The ultimate goal of PLAY TRUE 
2020 is to engage many people around the world in order to protect and develop 
a clean, fair sport environment and develop the young generation to become a 
leader of sport and society.

Aiming to protect the integrity of sport and create a better society through 
sport values based on fairness and integrity, "PLAY TRUE 2020, Sport for 
Tomorrow" -- a Japanese Government-led legacy project for the Tokyo2020 Games, 
commissioned to JADA -- has initiated to engage people around the world to send 
values messages and "Filter Pose" photos. Putting anti-doping and clean sport 
aspects as the main pillar of legacy is the first time ever in the Games legacy 
project.

Further strengthening safe sport, including anti-doping programmes, is one of 
the recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020+5. JADA continues to initiate 
creating a safe, clean sport environment, and ultimately create a better 
society through true values of sport.
