In the qualifying for the Tokyo Paralympic Athletics Women's 200m class with a disability, 26-year-old Sae Tsuji finished 4th in the 3 qualifying groups with a time of 26.88 seconds and could not advance to the final on the night of the 4th.
"I want to go up the level and do my best to cling to it."
Tsuji said with regret, "I was able to run so that I wouldn't get up in the first half, but in the second half I got a little stiff. I was hoping to advance to the final, so I'm sorry I didn't have time."
Looking back on the five years since the last tournament where he won the bronze medal, he said, "It seems like it's been a long time, and I'm grateful for the support of various people. I want to do my best to cling to you. "
