Toyota Motor Asia has celebrated the record-breaking performances and sporting milestones of its seven Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTA) from six Asian countries, following the conclusion of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and Asian Para Games. The athletes represented Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

The company also hosted its One Team Asia event in Nagoya, bringing together athletes and artists to celebrate the region's diverse talents. According to Toyota, the event reinforced its longstanding commitment to sport, which the company describes as more than competition — a platform that challenges perceptions of what is possible, champions the freedom to move and creates opportunities for people of different abilities and backgrounds to participate.

Medals Across the Asian Games

At the Asian Games, Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo claimed two gold medals in the men's floor exercise and vault, earning the Philippines its first two gold medals of the Games.

Thai badminton player Kunlavut Vitidsarn made history by winning the men's singles gold, securing Thailand's first-ever Asian Games gold in the discipline.

Para Games Records and Titles

At the Asian Para Games, Indonesian para cyclist Muhammad Fadli Imamuddin clinched gold in the men's C4 4,000m individual pursuit, setting a Games record of 4:50.169.

Filipino para swimmer Ernie Gawilan defended his men's 400m freestyle S7 title, claiming his third consecutive gold in the event, along with a silver in the men's 200m individual medley SM7.

Singaporean para swimmer Toh Wei Soong secured five medals: silver in the men's 100m backstroke S7 and 50m freestyle S7, and bronze in the 400m freestyle S7, 100m freestyle S7 and 50m butterfly S7.

Malaysian para athlete Muhammad Ammar Aiman Nor Azmi earned silver in the men's 400m T20, clocking 48.34 seconds.

Vietnamese para powerlifter Lê Văn Công won silver in the men's 49kg category with a best lift of 171kg, winning Vietnam's first medal of the Games.

'New Day Rising' and the Move Your World Beat Initiative

A highlight of the One Team Asia evening was the unveiling of 'New Day Rising', the regional collaborative track from Toyota's Move Your World Beat initiative. Building on original compositions created using sounds sampled from Toyota vehicles, the song brought together the distinct musical influences of participating artists from across Asia.

According to Toyota, the track marks the culmination of a regional creative journey, bringing the individual compositions of the seven artists into a shared musical piece that reflects both their distinct identities and the collective spirit of Asia. The event also marked the launch of 'Move Your World Beat: Volume 1', featuring their individual tracks.

Toyota said that by bringing sport and music together at One Team Asia, it demonstrated how both can transcend individual achievements and creative expression to inspire people and connect communities — describing athletes and artists as two different expressions of one common belief in the power of movement: Move Your World.

Toyota Executive Comments

Reflecting on Toyota's longstanding involvement in sport and its commitment to supporting people and communities in moving forward, Preston Tan, Vice President of Toyota Motor Asia, said:

"At Aichi-Nagoya 2026, we witnessed remarkable achievements from our athletes, each driven by their own ambitions and determination to push beyond their limits. Their journeys remind us that progress is personal, and every achievement has the power to inspire others."
"Move Your World Beat carries this same belief into music, bringing together artists from across Asia to create something that reflects both their individual identities and a shared regional spirit. For Toyota, these experiences reinforce why we continue to invest in people and their potential — not only to recognise what they can achieve, but to create opportunities for them to inspire others and make a difference beyond the Games."
