"Uniting Our worlds"

What a cool pair of autographs this young student of  Fukuda Kindergarten in Hatagaya got when Yoshinori Sakai, the final torch bearer for the 1964 Olympics, joined Yasuhiro Ueyama Trampoline a trampoline Olympian who was ranked #1 in the world in 2006 visited his school recently.

But I’m sure the autograph didn’t excite the young boy and his classmates as much as getting to run around with an origami Olympic torch and watch Ueyama-san fly through the air as he demonstrated his prowess on the trampoline.



Ueyama-san’s performance at the kindergarten was much more relaxed but equally impressive as the one on this video and he really wowed the children.  Much to their delight, some of the students got to bounce with him on the trampoline after his performance.
