As the Olympic approaches, even Gundam are coming forward to support Japan’s athletes. Specifically this 4 meter tall Gundam statue is holding a banner wishing good luck to reigning Olympic women’s marathon champion Mizuki Noguchi.

The banner wishes Noguchi success at the Beijing Olympics, where she will attempt to repeat her gold medal-winning performance at the Games in Athens four years ago.

The statue has been erected at the Takayanagi shopping center in Ise, and was provided by a local Ground Self-Defense Force base.

This sure is interesting, maybe Haruhi can support the gymnastic team and Sgt Keroro will support the swimming team.
