The Beijing Paralympic Games will start on the 9th of the 6th day of the tournament, and Taiki Kawayoke, who won the gold medal in the 20km classical, will participate in cross-country skiing and men's sprint free skiing.
It will be interesting to see what kind of slip the 41-year-old Yoshihiro Nitta, who has won three gold medals in the past and will face as the final Paralympic Games this time.
Hiroaki Mori, 25 years old in the men's sitting and sliding class, 18 years old in the women's standing and sliding class, and Mika Iwamoto will both participate in the Paralympic Games for the first time, and this will be their first race.
In both the standing and sliding classes of the sprint, the six players who have won the qualifying and semi-finals will compete for the final.
If Mori advances to the final, it will be the first Japanese team to sit and slide.
For ice hockey, in which Japan has not participated, two games of the preliminary round to determine the ranking will be held and the best four will be available.
Wheelchair curling will have 10 games in the qualifying league.
