Aya: So who was the Japanese who moved you the most?
Naomi: That’s hard. There were so many inspiring stories. But maybe Sugiura.
Aya: Because you are a cyclist too?
Naomi: Two gold medals. At age 50. The oldest Japanese gold medalist.
Aya: She got over a lot of adversities.

Voice-over
A pharmacist, with two children, who used to cycle as a hobby. Fell off at age 45, multiple fractures, brain damage, had to learn to read again. Took up Paralympic cycling. Games were postponed by a year and almost gave up. But stuck at the training to win a gold medal in a time trial event and another in the road race. Mix with people who tell you, “Don’t give up.”
