Notes

Tokyo 2020, Japanese cup-and-ball game (Kendama) with the Games emblem. Kendama, the Japanese version of the cup-and-ball game, features three “cups” and a spike. This is the version currently used for competitions, and is much harder than its western counterpart. After you get the ball on the spike, you have to catch it in one of the cups, which are of different sizes. OCOG donation
