The Japanese representative of para-ice hockey lost to Germany in the final qualifying round of the Beijing Paralympics in Germany, and lost three consecutive games since the opening of the game, and the Beijing Paralympics have not participated.
In addition to the host country China, the Beijing Paralympics Ice Hockey will be qualified by a total of eight teams, including the top five teams from the World Championship and the top two teams from the final qualifying round.
Japan, aiming to participate in the Paralympics for the second consecutive tournament, played against Germany in the third round on the 28th after losing to Norway and Slovakia in the final qualifying held in Germany with six teams participating.
Japan, which was deprived of one point each in the first and second periods, returned one point in the third period with a goal from Mamoru Yoshikawa, but lost 1 to 2.
Japan has lost three games in a row since the opening, and even if they win the remaining two games, they are no longer likely to be in second place in the final qualifying, and they are no longer participating in the Beijing Paralympics.
Japan has also missed the right to participate in wheelchair curling, and now it is no longer participating in the Beijing Paralympic team sports.
