Japans regerande rullstols-curlingpar utslaget från Paralympics efter förlust mot Lettland

Japans mixed doubles-lag i rullstols-curling, de regerande världsmästarna, åkte på en 10–4-förlust mot Lettland i sin sjunde omgångsmatch den 9 mars vid Paralympiska vinterspelen i Milano Cortina 2026, vilket avslutade deras medaljhopp och semifinalchanser.

Som försvarande världsmästare inledde Japan Paralympics med stora förväntningar och säkrade viktiga segrar tidigare i omgångsstadiet, inklusive den 8 mars. Måndagens förlust mot Lettland slog dock ut dem ur medaljstriden i mixed doubles-grenen. The defeat highlights the challenges of maintaining form in the competitive round-robin phase. No detailed player statistics or strategies were available from reports. Japans insats avslutas utan medalj i denna gren, i kontrast till landets bredare framgångar vid spelen, där de ställde upp med sitt största vinterparalympiska lag på årtionden. Noterbara prestationer inkluderar alpinåkaren Momoko Muraokas silvermedalj, Japans första i evenemanget.
