Do you know what meanings exist in Tokyo Olympic in 1964?
That sportsmanship event was a held event after 20 years since 1945, an ending of Pacific War,
in which war we, all Japanese, are treated as barbarians from all other world.
In such days,
because international human meeting chances are rarer than today,
only a part of world people can meet directly Japanese
and know who are Japanese.
Japanese looked like barbarians who worship a living human as a god
and who looked like people who never treat their lives important
with saying keeping fights till all Japanese would die
and whom other countries' people did not know how to trust.
So, other countries' people would never have any confidences
whether they (Japanese) would weight a spirit of sportsmanship
or whether they would make sports competitions under fair judges
or whether they treat their foreigners with respect.
In sports fighting fields,
we have trusted our competitors as persons who do not give us fatal attacks
even if we expose our own bodies to them.
Under such conditions,
we compete each other with our possible body power in sports fields.
A win competitor by body power never takes a lose competitor's life.
This is not a matter of a killing person or a war, but sports.
And "a win competitor by power never takes a lose competitor's life"
is sportsmanship as gentlemen.
(Please read also 841. Thinking about sportsmanship.)
At the last Tokyo Olympic in 1964,
other countries' people who came to Japan
would doubt very much
whether Japanese, who made that Pacific War, could do such fair play,
or whether Japanese would want to do it.
But when that closing ceremony after they finished all sports events safely,
other countries' players walked with Japanese players and they walked also like Japanese players.
After they competed with Japanese with exposing their bodies,
they found existence of non-barbarian Japanese in Japan
and they walked with Japanese with red Japanese Jackets.
After long time since ending of Pacific War,
Japan and Japanese became to be treated as gentlemen in the international countries' world.
I think that this last Tokyo Olympic's meaning is so.
So, Olympics are meetings
where people belonging in different countries fight each other with their countries’ flags
but where they never make wars
and where we recognize other countries people's existence each other, I think.
(I think that this meeting will not be valid, if players are not good men each other,
because not good men are barbarians.)
So, each play in stadiums will show peaceful "Festival of peace" in Olympics, I think.
From above my discussion,
firstly, playing games are important
and audience looking in stadiums are secondary.
(But audience are witness also.)
We, Japanese, do not need to make Olympic festival big,
because our anxieties are big also now.
We must hold Olympic games fairly and will finish it peacefully
and we will not pull a trigger of pandemic
not for be recognized as barbarian’s country.
That is more important than a big festival.
Even now,
an important matter for Japan is
not to be recognized as barbarian’s country.
Such problem still has existed with Japan.
Today,
because we have more international matches than 1964,
we have much chances to fight in international sports competitions.
But in Olympics,
we must think more about meanings of "Festival of peace"
and I hope athlete with big trainings to show those sprits by their own behaviors.
(Even because they train themselves strongly, they never are army weapons.)

I hope supporters of Olympics to protect athletes
I hope supporters of Olympics to protect athletes
to make fair and safe games and then make "Festival of Peace."

Do not destroy
with saying "we hold Olympic."
Japanese society, world, players, and concerning people,
all must not be allowed to destroy world with Olympic execution.
If someone destroy something, he is a barbarian.
So, any execution never help him to live as a normal person,
if he destroied something.

For normal people,
sportsmanship is a common thought, but...
For a person who feel sportsmanship as a common thought,
sportsmanship may be felt as a familiar thought.
But for barbarians,
for example, persons who have a strong tendency of criminals and criminals,
who definitely do whatever they can do, that is, reaching their abilities,
even if his target person does not like it,
sportsmanship is not a usual thought.
That reason is that they throw wastefully their big crime chances to harm other people,
if they did not attack their competitors in such sports conditions.
For good people,
it is a usual attitude that they want to protect their own lives and the other people's lives
with ordinary mind conditions
and want to keep sportsmanship's fairness, I think.
(a respect attitude of the other party's abilities and their made efforts along with their results
and an attitude of not neglecting his existence)
So, all good men must do is only playing as his usual, I think.
Oppositely,
people without such considerations are barbarians, criminals
and persons who have a strong tendency of criminals.

No good man never steals "other person's win."
Good men never want to steal "win" of the other person
who play at their next or in their front as hard as he can with his heart, I think.
When we play sports,
If we cheat or do crimes,
we will steal "wins" of other people which must be theirs in a condition without cheats and crimes.
And stolen matters are not only their "wins" but also their "honors" and their "future lives."
(When someone wins a gold medal in sports, his future selections in his life will change in many cases.)
In Olympics,
"honors" and "future lives" would be weight more.
So, stealing wins will be bigger crimes in Olympics.
But,
competitions with their biggest efforts in fair sportsmanship conditions
may be cozy for good men, I guess.
Such actions are usual for good men,
but not for bad men
who want to eat other people and who want to ignore other people, I saw.
So, we must make our efforts for keeping good men's usual.

I like to play a cheat playing to my friends, but...
If I succeeded in my cheat,
I do not feel good feelings, but feel embarrassed feelings, if anything.
I want to clearly say "I do not like succeeding my tricks"...
