This year's olympics are key for worldwide olympic partner, Bridgestone. The company is the only worldwide partner with headquarters in Tokyo. And, despite concerns about safety during the games, Bridgestone is dedicated to supporting both Olympians and Paralympians.

​

Bridgestone is the official tire of the games and will provide tires and tire service for thousands of vehicles involved in the games as well as parts for several competition venues in Tokyo. These venues are using Bridgestone seismic isolation bearings to make these venues earthquake-proof for the future.

​

However, the focus of their partnership is the athletes behind team Bridgestone. these Olympians and Paralympians are "chasing their dream"
- the official message of Bridgestone's 2020 games partnership.  Bridgestone has partnered with more than 70 athletes around the world to "empower people to overcome obstacles and persevere in pursuit of their goals."

​

Bridgestone became a worldwide Olympic partner in 2014 and a worldwide Paralympic partner in 2018. The partnership continues through 2024.
