[7] Japan also won gold in the women’s singles, quad singles, and all three women’s, men’s and quad doubles golds, [7] with Yui Kamiji gaining a Paris qualifying spot with her women’s singles win. [8]

Other athletes securing Paris qualifying spots included Mika Mizuta for SH2 R5 mixed 10m prone air rifle, and Kazuya Okada for SH1 R3 mixed 10m prone air rifle, [9] as well as Katsuyoshi Yagi for men’s class 7 table tennis, and Natsuki Wada for women’s class 11 table tennis. [10]
