Toka Muraoka, who won five medals including gold in the Pyeongchang Paralympics alpine skiing, responded to an online interview, and will be onshore at the Tokyo Games postponed next year, and at the Winter Beijing Games half a year later I talked about my determination to participate in.
23-year-old Muraoka, who has both legs affected by spinal cord illness, won five medals, including a gold medal, at the Pyongchan Paralympics alpine skiing.
Since then, Muraoka has been training in athletics in earnest since April last year, with the aim of participating in the Tokyo Games. On the 14th, it was only after it was decided that the Tokyo convention was postponed to next year, and I was interviewed by the news media online.
Muraoka touched on that a winter Beijing tournament will take place just half a year after the Tokyo tournament, ``I thought about choosing either ski or athletic, but I have been seriously working on the track for a year, I was keen to play the Paralympic Games and win medals in both competitions, whatever I wanted to do. It would be a very difficult challenge, but I would like to do my best," he said.
Currently I am training in Okayama City, which is a training base for track and field, I will concentrate on track and field until the September Japan Championship, but after that, I will alternate between track and ski to get a right to participate in the Paralympics 2 tournament. Is to work on.
Muraoka said, "I don't know if it is realistic or whether I can maintain the performance of the competition, but I would like to be able to become a player who has walked through the summer and winter Paralympics in a short period of half a year." I was talking positively.
