Description

To encourage people to get in the mood for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, there have been several TV programmes on the subject, including the series “Breakers”, in which sports scientist Ren Narita introduces young people to Paralympic sports for different reasons. Some athletes can thus fulfil a dream, while others gain a new perspective on life. Wheelchair athletes are also allowed to participate in Paralympic sports.

Young Umi wants to follow in his big brother’s footsteps and become a basketball player himself, though his prosthetic leg makes that virtually impossible. Ren, however, takes notice of Umi because he is pretty good at throwing and decides to introduce him to wheelchair basketball. But all beginnings are difficult because Umi first has to learn how to handle the wheelchair properly.

Katsu is the ace of his handball club until he loses a leg in an accident. Handball is a thing of the past, but when he watches a video of a 100-metre runner with a prosthetic leg, he takes it to heart. After surviving rehabilitation, however, he gets his first setback: his current running time is anything but record-breaking.

During the third story arc, Ren Narita is assigned to coach a goalball team. So far, only two players have signed up, even though a team must consist of three players. Ren convinces Emi, a girl with normal vision, to become the team’s manager. Just before a game, of all things, Ren “accidentally” suffers from stomach cramps, so Emi has to play – blindfolded.

Taku, on the other hand, is missing a part of his left forearm, yet he enjoys swimming, especially with his best friend Satoshi – though he is not interested in competitions. Ren recognises his talent and introduces him to Paralympic swimming. However, the competition is fierce, and Ren has to work hard to keep Taku’s motivation levels up.
Zur Einstimmung auf die 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games wurden im Fernsehen zahlreiche Sendungen zu diesem Thema gesendet – eine davon war die TV-Serie »Breakers«, in der Sportwissenschaftler Ren Narita junge Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Gründen an paralympische Sportarten heranführt. Manche der Athleten können sich so einen Traum erfüllen, während andere eine neue Perspektive fürs Leben erhalten. In je vier Episoden werden Rollstuhl-Basketball, Sprint (und Hochsprung), Torball und paralympisches Schwimmen vorgestellt.

Der Junge Umi würde gern seinem großen Bruder nacheifern und selbst ein Basketball-Spieler werden, aber durch seine Beinprothese ist das praktisch unmöglich. Ren wird jedoch auf Umi aufmerksam, weil dieser ziemlich gut werfen kann, und beschließt, ihn mit Rollstuhl-Basketball vertraut zu machen. Doch aller Anfang ist schwer, denn Umi muss erst einmal lernen, richtig mit dem Rollstuhl umzugehen.

Katsu ist das Ass seines Handballclubs, bis er durch einen Unfall ein Bein verliert. Handball hat sich damit erledigt, doch als er ein Video eines 100-Meter-Läufers mit Beinprothese sieht, schöpft er neuen Mut. Nach überstandener Rehabilitation bekommt er jedoch den ersten Dämpfer: Seine momentane Laufzeit ist alles andere als rekordverdächtig.

Im dritten Handlungsbogen wird Ren Narita dazu verdonnert, sich um ein Torball-Team zu kümmern. Bislang haben sich nur zwei Spielerinnen gemeldet, aber ein Team muss aus drei Spielern bestehen. Ren überzeugt Emi, ein Mädchen mit normaler Sehkraft, die Managerin des Teams zu werden. Ausgerechnet kurz vor einem Spiel erleidet Ren »zufälligerweise« Magenkrämpfe, sodass Emi spielen muss – mit einer Augenbinde.

Taku wiederum fehlt ein Stück des linken Unterarms, dennoch schwimmt er gern, vor allem mit seinem besten Freund Satoshi – an Wettkämpfen ist er jedoch nicht interessiert. Ren erkennt sein Talent und macht ihn mit paralympischem Schwimmen bekannt. Die Konkurrenz ist jedoch stark und so muss sich Ren ziemlich anstrengen, damit Takus Motivation nicht ins Bodenlose sinkt.
