【Project Activities】

We invited athletes from Japan and abroad and held an international competition. Beyond the competition, Bulgaria’s Levski Rhythmic Gymnastics Club conducted school visits and hosted exchange events with local groups.

【Project Background】

Held at the multi-purpose sports complex “Global Arena,” opened in 2000, to develop the next generation through sport. The tournament has been held since 2017 as a new goal for junior participants.

【Project Objective】

Promote healthy youth development through sport, enhance competitive performance and participation, and foster international cultural exchange.

【Project Area】

Sport Promotion

【Methods】

Support for events and competitions

【Outcomes】

Seeing world-class Bulgarian performances up close allowed Japanese athletes to learn from the real thing—an experience that contributes greatly to their growth.

【Voices from Participants and Partners】

“For young athletes, traveling overseas to compete is essential for learning and improving. Because we lived together during the Sanix Cup, we were also able to learn from each other’s cultures.” (Coach, Australia team)

【Challenges and Lessons Learned】

As this event raises the age category from the Sanix Cup held in November, it can also serve as a stage for athletes to showcase advanced routines in competition.
