TOKYO, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Japanese tire maker Bridgestone
 5108.T  said on Tuesday it would not renew its worldwide
partnership agreements with the Olympics and Paralympics when
they expire this year.
    That follows announcements in September from Toyota Motor
 7203.T  and Panasonic Holdings  6752.T  that they would stop
being top sponsors for the Games.
    Bridgestone had been a Worldwide Olympic Partner since 2014,
it said in a statement.
