Momoka Muraoka (24), who is aiming to participate in the Paralympic Games in summer and winter at the same time in the women's 100-meter wheelchair class at the Japan Championships in Athletics, cannot reach the target time and approach the Tokyo Paralympic Games offer. was.
Muraoka is a gold medalist at the Pyeongchang Paralympics and skis three years ago, and is challenging the "two-sword style" aiming to participate in the Tokyo Paralympics on land and the Beijing Paralympics next year at the same time.
If we set a record of being within 6th place in the world ranking at the Japan Championships that started on the 20th, we will be much closer to the Tokyo Paralympic representative's unofficial decision, so we aimed for a time to raise the current 6th place ranking in the women's 100-meter wheelchair class.
However, my hand in a wheelchair slipped and I failed at the start I was good at, so I couldn't get up to speed.
In the second half, I was impatient, and the time was 17 seconds 33, which was almost 1 second slower than my personal best, and I could not raise the ranking.
Muraoka will be nominated as a representative if he can maintain the 6th place ranking until the 1st of next month, but he is aiming for a higher ranking again at the record meeting one week later.
In addition, Sae Tsuji (26), a bronze medal of the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, was unable to raise the world ranking of 6th place at 400 meters in the class with a disability, and could not approach the Tokyo Paralympics representative offer.
