The Japanese Para-Swimming Championship, which began on the 6th in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is being held without spectators to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.
On the 6th, 14-year-old Miyuki Yamada, a young growth strain with no arms and disabilities in both legs, appeared in the women's 50-meter backstroke motor dysfunction class.
Yamada, who has been practicing long-distance swimming to strengthen his stamina, set a good time of 1 minute 5 seconds 44 without slowing down in the second half with a swim that used his whole body well.
This is the time to break the Japanese record of 5 seconds or more, which was marked at the record meeting in November last year, and is equivalent to the silver medal of the adult world championship.
Yamada said, "I am very happy to be able to swim comfortably. I want to win a medal at the Tokyo Paralympics, but before that I want to do my best so that I can update my personal best a lot."
In addition, Dai Tokaibayashi, who has been appointed as the representative of the Tokyo Paralympics in the class of intellectual disabilities, participated in the men's 200-meter individual medley and took first place with a time of 2: 14.83, but he set his own world record.
