On October 9, 2024, Representative Ando appeared as a guest on Kanazawa Seaside FM‘s “Bringing Parasports Closer to You!”
Ando discussed the potential and the collaborative creation of Parasports in a variety of fields, including para-badminton,Takkyu Volley, as well as the Wheelchair Handball World Championship, where he participated as the head of the Japan National Wheelchair Handball Delegation and team doctor.
Tsubasa Kimura and Katsuhiko Suzuki were absolutely amazing facilitators of the program, and the conversation was so lively and engaging. Mr. Kimura is such a wonderful person. He used to be a sumo wrestler, but sadly had to give up the career due to a heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and he’s now a radio personality.
