The triathlon world series was held in Yokohama, and Mami Sato, who is aiming for the Tokyo Paralympics in the women's motor dysfunction class, came in second and was one step closer to the national team.
This world series, which is the highest peak in the world, is attended by about 190 athletes from 35 countries and regions, and a paratriathlon is held in the morning on the course around Yamashita Park in Yokohama City. I did.
The race was contested by a swim that swims 750 meters, which is half the distance of the Olympics, a motorcycle that runs 20 kilometers, and a run that runs 5 kilometers. I participated in the class.
Although Tani dropped his position on the bike he was working on, he was tenacious in the subsequent run and finished second in 1 hour 15 minutes 33 seconds.
With the rule revision three years ago, Tani will be competing with players in a class with less disabilities than himself at the Tokyo Paralympics, and this race is equivalent to 5th place when applied to that classification, and can earn points for representative selection. Therefore, we are one step closer to the representative of the Tokyo Paralympics.
In addition, Hideo Uda finished third in the men's motor dysfunction class.
Wakako Tsuchida, a female wheelchair class aiming for the 8th Paralympic Games in summer and winter, was the lowest among the seven.
