Tokyo Para New Competition "Palate Kondo" Replies for three representatives January 26 23:06

The Tokyo Paralympics new competition "Parate Kondo" was held in Japan, and a 75-kilometer male Shunsuke Kudo, who finished third in the world championship last year, won the race and was nominated.

"Parate Kondo" is a new competition of the Tokyo Paralympic Games, in which athletes with disabilities in their arms wear armor to compete in a match and score by kicking to the torso.

On the 26th, the Tokyo Paralympics Japan National Selection Screening was held in Tokyo, and the 61 kg class and the 75 kg class were contested.

In the men's 75 kg class, Kudo, who finished third in the World Championships last year, was lead in the early stages but repeatedly won a strong front kick and won 15 to 11, winning the job.

In the men's 61-kilometer class, a round robin game was held by the three competing players, and Mitsuya Tanaka scored with an accurate kick, won two games in a row, and won the championship.

For women over 58 kg, only one child, Watako Ota, who has won two medals at the Winter Paralympics, has been hired.
