No. 8





We succeed to get 9 gold medals in Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, which ranked “8”th among participants. (For information: 1st is China, 2nd is U.S.A. and 3rd is Russia.) However, the rank was actually worse than the previous Olympic in Athens; we ranked “5”th with 15 numbers of gold medals at that time.


No.7



According to the annuncement of FIFA World Rankings on Women's association football dated on March 27, 2009, our Japanes women's association has succeeded in 7th rank! This is the highest order ever! On the other hand, mens' one is still in competition among the Aisian countries (around 40th).

This result reflects the truth of the current situation in Japan. Namely it means that men are not stronger than women in every field no longer...


No.6



According to THE-QS World University Rankings 2008, we succeeded to be awarded in ‘6’th rank, this is mainly because Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT), like MIT in U.S.A., has been evaluated much more higher than previouse year.
