Japan held the 4th running clinic for amputees to allow people with amputees to experience playing sport and the joy of running.
Two Paralympic medalists, Heinrich Popow from Germany and Atsushi Yamamoto from Japan were invited as instructors, and nine amputees including a family from Canada participated in a three-day event in the running clinic at Meikai University Urayasu Campus on October 26, 2018.
The instructors taught basic training skills at the gymnasium on Day 1 in the afternoon and on Day 2, they held morning sessions. From the afternoon of Day 2, the instructors went out to the ground and started full-scale running training.
Heinrich Popow was impressed with the level of participants, and the training session was advanced and challenging. They were eager to learn and worked very hard.
