SPORTS YOKOHAMA Vol.34:Feature(1/3)
The end of 2012 is drawing near. How have you spent this year? The Japanese sporting world got really pumped up this year partly because of the 2012 Olympic Games. We had a lot of exciting moments here in Yokohama, too, thanks to the professional and amateur athletes who participated in the sports events that took place in the city. In this issue of Sports Yokohama, we will highlight some of those events, with an array of photos, to look back on what 2012 has brought for us and carry this momentum into 2013.
