At 48.04 seconds, Takayuki Suzuki outclassed the field in the men’s 50 meter breast stroke to give Japan the much-needed Paralympic gold on Thursday in Paris. Despite impaired upper and lower limb mobility due to a congenital defect, Suzuki clinched the gold in the SB3 class at Paris La Defense Arena, ending a gold medal drought at the games that began in 2008. He also got his eleventh Paralympic medal in his sixth consecutive games. Sugiura Keiko, a strong contender in the cycling event, surprisingly did not qualify for the medal round and was eliminated in the qualification round.

"I swam exactly as I'd envisioned, surpassed his 21-year-old self" after breaking his own record, which he had previously held for 48.49 seconds during the Beijing Games.

The 37-year-old Suzuki, expressed his heartfelt appreciation to his deceased guardian, Yo Komatsu who died at the age of 89 in the previous year. Suzuki said “Komatsu is like a both a mother and a father, who had been her rock, explaining to him how she had been the one to get him to start swimming and to give him the strength to cope with a world that was too often designed for people without disabilities.

Since Suzuki was about a year old, komatsu assumed the duties of caring for him. Whether it was teaching him how to use scissors or learn to hold the spoon properly with three fingers, Komatsu always motivated him to, “establishing a spirit of independence that shaped his future.

Sugiura, 53 year old gold medallist from Japan got a bad experience in the women’s C1-3 3000m individual qualification race. Sugiura fainted shortly into her performance during the semi-finals after witnessing new world records set by Wang Xiaomei of China and Daphne Schrager of Britain. And when later Wang and Schrager won gold and silver she suggested that she sport injuries that might have weakened her performance.

"I believe I gave it my all," Sugiura said as she fought back tears. "I hadn't been able to sleep since last week due to asthma attacks, When I arrived in Paris, I tried getting on the track but couldn't achieve decent times."

Sugiura understood that her sicknesses had set her back more time in training after getting her first full night of rest. She did, however, reveal that she had ‘no regrets’ towards the performance despite the challenges encountered. She is only 53 years old and she believes that being able to have a competition is actually a great thing even if after all of those competitions the elder generation of this kind especially aging culture such as Japan gets motivated.

Left with catastrophic brain injury resulting from a bicycle accident in 2016 and vowed to become a paracyclist. It is hard to believe, but she competed at the Paralympics for the first time in Tokyo at the age of 50, which proves her perseverance and determination.
