<Comment from Nishizaki>
Thank you for your support.
Thanks to everyone's support, I was able to overcome the 140kg barrier. I would like to change my mindset and work hard in training so that I can demonstrate the results of my practice at the World Championships in July 2019, which I plan to participate in.
Until the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, I will continue to cherish each attempt and match, and strive to succeed in every attempt.
