Shinan-gun has also achieved outstanding results in previous years, ranking 5th in 2022 and 6th in 2023. These achievements are particularly notable given the unique challenges of being an island region with a small population.

Recently, Shinan-gun has been making efforts to nurture elite athletes and young talents, actively working on establishing sports infrastructure such as the National Sports Center, swimming pool, and park golf course.
