Para Athletics Japan Championships Women's 400m Shigemoto Japan record not reached September 6 19:49
Sae Shigemoto, a copper medalist at the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics at the Para Athletics Japan Championship, showed a solid run, but could not raise the world rankings necessary for the Tokyo Paralympic Games, as the Japanese record could not be reached.
25-year-old Shigemoto was 7th in last year's world championship and couldn't decide on the Tokyo Paralympic national team, so he must raise or maintain his 6th world ranking by next April.
For this reason, while he could not practice at the National Training Center or university due to the influence of the new coronavirus, he continued to train at nearby parks and banks.
Shigemoto, who participated in a 400-meter women's class with a handicap in the Japanese championship on the 6th, said that he was conscious of the "first half game" aiming to set the Japanese record at 57 seconds to raise the world ranking. I rushed in from the beginning.
However, the speed did not continue and stalled in the final stage, and the time was 1 minute 0.35, which is 1 second or more slower than the Japanese record of 58 seconds 96 which is owned by itself.
Shigemoto cannot raise the world ranking in this tournament, and he is aiming to set a new record by April next year, while he cannot predict the future tournament due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
