The company’s founding philosophy of ‘promoting the healthy development of young people through sport’ resonates perfectly with the values promoted by the Olympic and Paralympic movements. ASICS will strive to make the Tokyo 2020 Games a resounding success by making the best use of the extensive experience the company has gained supporting athletes and sports associations in previous editions of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and continue contributing to the development of a healthy and sustainable society."
