Introduction to Athletes

Ayano Yoshida
Athlete event class T34
- Born December 31, 2006 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture
- Resides in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture
Born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. She first encountered parasports when she was in the sixth grade. She has a congenital disability and was fascinated by the brilliant athletes at the World Paratriathlon Yokohama, where she attended a parasports event for children.
She jumped into the para world with the sole desire to become like them, but now her dream has shifted from being the one receiving to being the one giving. At the age of 15, she was designated as a training athlete by the Japan Para Athletics Federation, and met Matsunaga. Her commitment to her sport was so straightforward that she grew to the point where she was able to compete in the Paris 2024 Paralympics at just 18 years old. After graduating from high school, she joined the workforce and joined WORLD-AC, aiming to grow even more.
Now that she is a member of the team, her sights are set higher and wider, and she is running with her sights set on the top of the world.
