Japanese athletes from the alpine team, including Momoka Muraoka, who will be the captain of the Japanese team at the Beijing Paralympics, which will start on the 4th of next month, and aim to win the tournament for the second consecutive time in alpine skiing, will practice at the competition venue for the first time.
On the 27th, Japanese alpine skiers practiced at the competition venue "National Alpine Ski Center" in Yanqing, about 75 kilometers northwest of Beijing, for the first time in the field.
Of these, Muraoka, the captain of the Japanese team, who sits and slides, won five medals, including one gold medal, at the previous Pyeongchang tournament, and was a dual wield player who also participated in the Tokyo tournament last summer. So, I am aiming for the second consecutive championship in the tournament with a giant slalom.
Like Muraoka, 41-year-old veteran Taiki Morii, who has won four silver medals and one bronze medal at the Paralympics in a sitting and sliding class, actually slides on the course and checks the snow quality. It looked like it was done.
The Beijing Paralympics will start on the 4th of next month, and the alpine skiing will start on the 5th.
