Boccia Japanese rivals Thai star ☆ Watcharapon Oct. 30 15:49

Boccia Japan National Team aiming for a gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics.
The biggest rival is Thailand.
Thailand is currently ranked first in the world ranking. The 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Group defeated Japan and won the second straight victory.
The Thai star player is Watcharapon Bonsar.
The 29-year-old who met Boccia, “Life has become more valuable,” has vowed to aim for a gold medal again in Tokyo.

Three pierced ears with an unusual hairstyle.
This is Thai national star Wattarapong Bonsar (29) who won three gold medals at the Paralympic Games. Although he has a cerebral palsy and a limb disorder, he is always loved to be cheerful and free-spirited like “I am different from myself.

Wascharapong, who was born in a poor family and couldn't get a wheelchair when he was young, and was apt to stay at home.
What changed my life was a decision made in my mid-teens.

“Living in Boccia”

In Thailand, people who have disabilities through sports are encouraged to participate in society.
Watcherapon said, “I thought that taking a medal would make my life better. I thought I could make Boccia a job,” and so on.

We worked on improving control.
Boccia throws balls at white target balls and competes to see which is closer.
Watcherapon is said to have repeatedly practiced steadily throwing the target ball all day long. After that effort, I acquired the world's highest level of control.

She won a gold medal at the 2012 London Paralympic Games, and won a bounty of over 10 million yen in Japanese yen. Since then, he has been active in the Paralympic Games and World Championships, and the total amount of bounty has reached 70 million yen.

“I came a long way compared to when I first started. The starting point was the ground. Now I feel like I have reached the stars. I surpassed my dream,” said Watcharapon. I made the star seat unshakeable.

What we are aiming for now is to continue to be the goal of children with disabilities.
And the Tokyo Paralympic gold medal.
“I'm glad to be a courage to everyone. Life has become more valuable. I absolutely want to defend the champion.”
