The organizing committee for Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, which begin one year from Sunday, held an event to offer participants the opportunity to experience many of the Games' total 22 sports at the Sumida City Gymnasium in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, on Saturday.

At the venue, booths for 15 sports, including wheelchair tennis, sitting volleyball and goalball, were installed, attracting a large number of parents and children.

One fourth-grade elementary school student who played goalball said, "It was difficult because I had to respond only by sound, but I want to do it again."
