Big jump

No excess fat on that body.

Wow! Very dynamic jump! Paralympics are relatively low profile compared to Olympics. We sometimes tend to forget that Paralympic games are held after Olympic games. I want to take my hat off to Paralympic athletes' efforts. Thanks for the very inspiring photo!

Don't know if she won or lost, but "A" for effort.

I wonder how she lost her leg.

wikipedia says: "2006年9月に、仕事中の事故で右足の膝から下を切断" - in September 2009, her lower leg was amputated from the knee down, due to an accident at work.

It doesn't specify what that accident was though.

Great photo, awesome effort Ms Nakanishi! She could absolutely be one of the faces of these Games, attractive and athletic young woman!

After graduating from high school, she now and then helped out at a friends construction company. One day, at a construction site, 5 ton steel beams toppled over, one falling on her leg.

She ended up 4th in the long jump.
