Para-swimming Mayumi Narita Receiving practice after cancellation of emergency declaration 16:54 on June 1
Mayumi Narita, a swimmer who has won the most 15 gold medals in Japan at the Paralympic Games, resumed her practice in the pool from the 1st day after the emergency declaration was lifted, and she said, `` Thank you for swimming. , I want to reach the Tokyo Paralympic Games. "
Narita, who is aiming to participate in the Tokyo Paralympic Games in a class of motor dysfunction in swimming, has been unable to practice in the water mainly because he could not use the pool at the base in Yokohama since April when the emergency was declared. I used to train with dumbbells and tubes at home.
In response to the cancellation of the emergency declaration, Narita also resumed underwater practice for the first time in about two months, in line with the opening of the pool at the base.
On the board where the practice menu was written, the coach said, "Don't hesitate," and Narita swims at a distance of 3000 meters, which is about two-thirds of the usual, while checking the form. I was adjusting.
Narita said, “I was able to spend a lot of time in the water after a long absence. I think my cardiopulmonary function has clearly declined due to the two months of self-restraint. I'm also excited to be able to improve my level, "he said with a smile.
After that, I was enthusiastic about the Tokyo Paralympic Games, saying, "Thank you for being able to swim, I want to welcome the Tokyo Paralympic Games and finish my career as a player."
