Days ahead of the Rio Paralympics in Brazil, the Japanese have started preparing themselves for the next round of games which are going to be held in their capital city Tokyo.

One hundred children gathered at the Tokyo metropolitan government building to celebrate hosting the greatest athletic event of the world.

Using tiles, they made a huge emblem of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Japan hopes to boost its economy benefiting from the games and visitors.

The next Olympics will have five new sports to attract younger audiences, including baseball, skateboarding, and surfing.
