Paralympics - The Superhuman Olympics

 Athlete Markus Rehm, who was the gold medalist in the long jump event at the London Paralympics, emerged victorious at the German Athletics Championships with a world-record jump of 8m 24cm. However, there was a leak by a representative of the European Championships held at Zurich that his artificial leg may have increased his jumping power. The delegation from the German Athletics Association has not confirmed this.
The day has finally come when physically disabled people are able to defeat able-bodied people. It is exciting yet thrilling at the same time.

 2020 in Tokyo will see a rapid succession of better results in the Paralympics than the Olympics. The event with artificial arms, artificial limbs, and assistive devices will become a superhuman competition. Will it be recognized as such? Strict restrictions have been introduced even for the swimsuits of able-bodied people, so assistive devices will give rise to important discussions beyond swimsuit regulations.

 If physically disabled people can become superhumans with assistive devices, then able-bodied people will look upon them with jealousy. Will there come a day where able-bodied people chop off their arms, legs, and parts of their bodies? That would most likely be prohibited. Or maybe it will eventually be encouraged? Will it result in a divide between countries based on religious reasons? Will Japan, with its lenient regulations, turn into a cyborg power?

 As we mention such things, I wish to create superhuman sports where people, regardless of whether they are handicapped, can make full use of devices to compete with each other. I want to create a sports festival where anyone can become a superhuman.
As a joint representative, I have formed a "Superhuman Sports Committee". We will develop new sports together with an assembly of scientists representing the fields of robotics, neuroscience, sports science, and games.
We plan to turn them into official sports in the future.
