Para Cycling Athlete

During my career as a para-athlete, I faced many hardships and difficulties. To this day, I feel that anyone can enjoy and challenge themselves through sports. I don't think that having a disability or having a different identity has anything to do with it. As a para-athlete with a physical disability and as an Ally Athlete, I will work to create a world of sports that everyone can enjoy.
