<Comment from Nishizaki> 

Due to shoulder problems resulting from form improvements, my records weren't improving, and I was unsure if I could even lift 130kg in practice. This time, it was my colleagues at NOMURA Co.,Ltd. who gave me courage and strength during this difficult time. My colleagues who train with me every day at the company, colleagues who came to support me at the competition venue, and colleagues who support me no matter what. The desire to show my friends that I was taking on this challenge gave me confidence and focus, and I was able to challenge myself to break my personal record without worrying about the pain in my shoulder. I am very grateful. 

Nextup is the Dubai World Championships in August.I would like to get results and raise my ranking so that it will be reflected in the ranking of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. 

*In the 3rd attempt, he challenged his personal record of140kg.I was able to raise it for the first time in the official match I participated in in the49 kg class, but I failed in the judgment.
