At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, there were three types of refusal to participate. There was also "Semenya discrimination".
In addition, "Tokyo 2020" is also "a competition that has clearly positioned the Paralympics as the disabled version of the Olympic Games".
The reason why this can be said is that "Tokyo 2020" adopted an extraordinary classification principle as the principle of organizing athletes and sports events, suppressing everyday custom.
What is important is that the Paralympic Game’s function as a testing ground for the social implementation of this precise system based on the extraordinary principles of "classification." Therefore, "Semenya discrimination" is not only gender discrimination, but also segregation of unconscious daily life.
It would be effective to re-recognize "routine passing" in relieving athletes from this "discrimination system".
