NAGOYA - The Japanese delegation at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games voiced hope Wednesday that sporting success will bring about a positive impact on society.

"There was a big social change after the Tokyo Paralympics (in 2021) through sports," Chef de Mission Hiroyuki Misaka, a former Japan wheelchair rugby player, told a press conference in Nagoya. "We'll accelerate it further at the Aichi-Nagoya Games."
