Olympics: Tokyo 2020 ticket designs unveiled

Published

on

A total of 59 Olympic ticket designs for all competition events were unveiled. Delivery of the tickets will start in May.

The design is based on the Look of the Games, the visual identity of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. It is inspired by the three types of rectangular shapes that form the Tokyo 2020 emblems and the Japanese technique known as kasane no irome, a colour scheme used in the creation of fabrics for kimonos during the Heian Period (794-1185). Having been traditionally used in the design of costumes for celebratory occasions, this colour scheme reflects the overlapping natural colours representative of each of Japan’s four seasons.

The designs of the tickets use four traditional Japanese colours:

– Kurenai (red) – since ancient times, red has been used often during celebratory occasions and is a symbolic colour of Japan.

– Ai (blue) – widely familiar to the people of Japan and globally known as a colour representing Japan. The colour of the Tokyo 2020 emblems is also categorised as ai.

– Fuji (purple) – this is the colour of the Japanese wisteria, which has been regarded as a beautiful Japanese flower since ancient times.

– Matsuba (green) – this is a pine-needle green colour that is often used for celebratory occasions.

The TCI Sports Commission takes sports development further with the three-day Sports Performance Long-Term Athlete Development Clinic

Published

on

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, October 24, 2023 – Under the leadership of experts Darren and Emily Veira of Athletic Engineering Canada, the Sports Performance Long Term Athlete Development clinic will deliver the foundational athletic development training for coaches and Physical Education (P.E.) teachers.
Event Details

  • November 20-22, 2023
  • 12pm – 4pm
  • Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex
This follows on from the Long-Term Athlete Development Symposium held in June 2022, where the concept of LTAD was introduced to P.E. teachers, coaches, athletes and National Sports Governing Bodies.
The main objectives of the clinic are to:
1. Develop broad knowledge of natural movement fundamentals
2. Understand strategies to improve structural integrity and motor coordination to enhance general movement competence, athleticism, and efficiency
3. Learn drills and games for development of athletic versatility, dexterity and problem-solving
In addition, significant time will be spent to understand what is movement efficiency, why it matters in the context of athletic development, and how to identify efficient vs. inefficient patterns of movement. This is to be able to identify red flags, correct poor movement patterns through training, and prevent future injuries. The training will be hands-on, requiring attendants to wear activewear and to bring a yoga mat.
Coaches and PE teachers must RSVP with Head of Sports Performance Angelo Garland asgarland@gov.tc to attend.
