The Para athletics world championship is held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Players from Japan will be selected as representatives of the next year's Tokyo Paralympic Games if they are in 4th place.

On the 10th day of the 4th day of the tournament, the final of a class with girls' 400-arm disabilities was held, and Sae Shigemoto, who won this event and bronze medal at the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, participated.

Shigemoto was unable to increase his speed in the second half of his specialty and lost 7th in the time of 1 minute 0:65, which was a second slower than his personal best, and missed the Tokyo Paralympic representative appointment at this tournament.

South Africa's Wires Enlune won a gold medal with a time of 55:79.

Shigemoto “insufficiency”

Sae Shigemoto recalled, “I couldn't speed up well in the second half. There was a slight effect of injury but this result was not enough for me.”

He also said that he missed the representative appointment for the Tokyo Paralympic Games next year, “I didn't get the result I wanted, but I want to take this and connect it next.”

Rio bronze medals aiming for 2 consecutive medal wins

Sae Shigemoto is 25 years old from Hakodate, Hokkaido.

Since he was born, Shigemoto, who has no tip on his right elbow, played an active role as a handball player in national tournaments, and turned to Para athletics while attending university.

The Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games, which was often held, won a bronze medal in a class with girls 400 meters and a handicapped arm, and it attracted a lot of attention.

He won a bronze medal at the World Championship in Ototoshi and last year's Asia Para Tournament, and in May he updated his own Japanese record for the first time in 10 months.

The Tokyo Paralympics aim to win medals for two consecutive tournaments.
