Para swimming athletes show off huge “2020” human characters To Tokyo Para August 25, 16:00
On the 25th, one year before the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games, we made a huge human character for “2020” after the year when Para-Swimming athletes were held.
Para swimming is scheduled to be held next month in London, and representatives of Japan are having a training camp in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
On the 25th day of the training camp, an event was held to promote Para-Swimming, as the year until the opening of the Tokyo Paralympic Games, and the athletes were placed on the pool with children with disabilities. I challenged a game of walking across an unstable board.
While there were players who lost their balance and fell, big applause was happening when the children passed well.
Finally, the players made a huge human character with the number “2020” together with their children and other related parties, and vowed to be active at the Tokyo Paralympics next year.
Keiichi Kimura, a Japanese ace who won four medals at the Rio de Janeiro tournament, said, “The human potential is that the goal is a gold medal that has not yet been taken in the Tokyo tournament, and that a person who has lost his light through the competition can do so far. I want to show. "
In addition, Takuro Yamada, a bronze medalist at the Rio de Janeiro tournament, who is ahead of his left arm elbow, was eager to update his new record in Japan and win a better medal than the previous tournament.
The Para Swimming World Championship will be held in London next month, and the winner will be selected as the representative of the Tokyo Paralympic Games.
