Setachi Rio's Paralympic Games, Japan's only participant, 8th place
Ms. Setachi is 21 years old from Koto-ku, Tokyo.
I had been working on canoeing since my junior high school days, but when I was in the first year of high school, I fell down and hit my head.
After that, we started canoeing again as a rehabilitation, and received support from the local Koto Ward and other places to provide practice places and competition canoeing.
In the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games, where Paracanu was first adopted, it was the only Japanese player to enter and was ranked 8th in the women's kayak single.
Since then, I have been absent from the university to concentrate on the competition for the Tokyo Paralympics, trained in the upper body with strict weight training, and strengthened endurance by swimming and other means.
At the beginning of this season, Setachi said, “I want to make a season for the Tokyo Paralympics”.
