Club Hosts Tokyo 2020 Committee

The Club's band of badminton enthusiasts recently welcomed members of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Organizing Committee for an evening of friendly games.

The group played a series of casual matches in the Gymnasium.

"We had former Olympians Kimiko Jinnai and Kumiko Ogura play on our TAC team and they partnered with our Members for some fun and good competition," said Member JoAnn Yoneyama.

Jinnai represented Japan in the women's doubles at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, while Ogura won bronze in the women's doubles at the 2007 world championships and competed at the 2008 Beijing Games.

The Club's shuttlers meet each Tuesday evening.
