Paracanoe Tokyo Para Representative Seta Monica Injured and time did not increase September 13 17:32
Seta Monica, who has been appointed as the representative of the Tokyo Paralympics at the Japan Paralympic Championships, did not improve her time due to the injury, but vowed to play an active role next year.
The Japan Championships in Paracanoe held in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, was held thoroughly with measures against infection with the new coronavirus, such as participants submitting temperature measurements and physical condition check sheets to classify the range of movement.
In the women's kayak single competing at a distance of 200 meters, Monica Setachi (22), who has been appointed as the representative of the Tokyo Paralympics, has appeared.
Setachi has a disability in his lower body, but last week he suffered a stress fracture in the costal cartilage of his right chest and took a painkiller to race.
Due to the difficult conditions of rain, it was 1 minute 5 seconds 069, which was less than 10 seconds below the target time of 55 seconds.
Setachi will concentrate on treatment for a while and will not participate in the tournament this year.
Setachi said, "I want to heal my injuries so that I can train my endurance, which will be the basis for next year, this winter. I hope that the Tokyo Paralympics will be held locally, and I will have one more performance there. I want to do my best for the year, "he swore to revive.
