3. Direction of Promotion Policiesf or Competitive Sports
The government needs to positively address the promotion of competitive sports due to their diverse significance and the high expectations of the Japanese,as stated above.First,the improvement of the competitive strength of the Japanese,which is the objective of competitive sports,is essential.In recent years,although Japan has been a tour de force internationally in some winter sports,a relatively low level of competitive strength has been seen on the whole for a long period.A reassessment of the current system to improve competi tive strength,and the construction of a more effective system are essential.Ithis hoped that Japan can promote sports exchange,including hosting international competitions,while giving consideration to a sports environment that conhibutes to mutual understanding and international friendship between nations to create a common global culture.It is also necessary to promote competitive sports by focusing on tbe aspect of"spectator sports,"which,as seen at top-level competitions such as tbe Olympics and in professional sports,provides,a dream and leaves a deep impression on people,and contributes to the dissemination and promotion of sports.
