Ryohei Ariyasu was 16th in the qualifying for the Beijing Paralympic, Cross-Country Skiing Men's 1.3km Sprint Free Visually Impaired Class, and did not advance to the semi-finals where the top eight players competed.
Ariyasu said, "I'm still inexperienced and there are many technical shortages, so I thought it would be a tough race. However, I can feel that the distance to the world is definitely getting closer. I was able to do it. I want to be a player who can win even more in the future. "
