? What is supporting athletes around the world
Technology Makes Sports
Possible for Everyone
There is a special wheelchair company in Chiba,
Japan. It was established by Ishii Shigeyuki. He
himself was a wheelchair user, and was not satisfied。
with ordinary types. So he decided to design custom-
made wheelchairs. They were lighter, stronger, and
sportier. Kunieda Shingo and Kamiji Yui use his
company's wheelchairs in their matches. These athletes
show the world that wheelchairs can be functional and 10
stylish.
Athletes tell the company that wheelchairs are
like part of their bodies. So the staff members listen
carefully to their opinions. “They use technology to
make the best wheelchair for each athlete. Technology 1s
is supporting more and more athletes around the world.
