オリンピック効果｜Olympic Effect｜2021/06/15

いよいよオリンピックまであと約１ヶ月。本当に開催するのか、コロナ対策は大丈夫かという話題も多い。オリンピックの開催が決まった８年前は自分には関係ないなと思っていたけれど、今のボクにとっては本当に有難い。オリンピックを機にバリアフリーが進んだからだ。ここ数年でほとんどの駅やアクセスでエレベータが設置された。腰の悪いベビーカーユーザーのボクはぎっくり腰から救われた。またフリーWIFIの普及も有難い。何度ギリギリの仕事で救われたか！オリンピック関係者の方々は今も大変なご苦労をされているだろうけど、ボクからささやかな金メダルを。有難うございます。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

It's about a month before the Olympics. There are many topics about whether it will be held or whether corona will be okay. Eight years before the Olympics were decided, I thought it had nothing to do with me, but I'm really grateful for it now. This is because barrier-free access has progressed since the Olympics. Elevators have been installed at most stations and access in the last few years. I was a stroller user with a bad back, and I was saved from a strained back. I am also grateful for the spread of free WIFI. How many times have I been saved by the last minute work! The people involved in the Olympics may still have a lot of trouble, but I want to give them a small gold medal. Thank you. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
