General
CHANGE IN AMBITION
Her initial ambition as a Para powerlifter was to earn enough money to pay for treatment of her spinal cord injury but, as her sporting career progressed, she set different competitive and lifestyle goals. "When I began this sport, my goal was to get some treatment. However, when I did save enough money for the treatment, I had to go to Rio for the Paralympics. Then the idea changed. I don't care so much about being treated. What I want to do with the money I'm making is to ease my mother's burden and buy a house where I can easily get in and out. Participating in the Paralympics is difficult and expensive. In 2016, I only aimed to participate, but in 2020 [Paralympic Games in Tokyo] my goal is to win medals."
