Rapid growth with a “big stride” Land short distance Kohei Tominaga August 20, 13:03
Aiming for the Tokyo Paralympics next year, Kohei Tominaga, 24-year-old short-distance on land, updated his personal best one after another. It continues to grow rapidly with a big stride.
Kohei Tominaga who trains at a track and field club in Ehime Prefecture.
There is paralysis in the left half of the body, especially the left arm cannot move enough.
Still, I'm working on the competition, "I'd like to see my running and be encouraged, or someone else to be positive."
Last year, we achieved two crowns of 100 meters and 200 meters at the National Sports Festival for the Disabled In fact, it has grown to a level where it can play an active role in the world, such as being ranked second in both the 100 and 200 in the May international competition.
Tominaga said that he started on track and field from the high school of the special support school.
In order to extend the stride, we have thoroughly trained the right body that can be moved freely.
In practice, conscious of moving your right foot higher and higher.
Then, when I put my right foot forward, my left foot was also attached, and the range of motion was expanded a little because it came out forward.
A tournament in June with top Japanese players.
Tominaga ran through a big stride that he had worked on in practice.
The time for 100 meters is 13 seconds 58.
4th place, but updated personal best 15 seconds.
Tominaga renewed his personal best at the tournament in July and shortened his personal best by 0 seconds 35 over the past two months.
Still, “There is a top above, so we ca n’t aim there,” Tominaga said. What we are looking forward to is the 13:06 Japan record update and the Tokyo Paralympics.
