Asian Para Games: Endo eyes boccia pinnacle after final loss at worlds

TOKYO - Japan's Hiromi Endo arrives at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Para Games sitting second in the women's boccia world rankings and looking to go one better than her runner-up finish at the recent world championships.

Playing in the BC1 category for athletes with significant impairment of all four limbs and trunk, the 40-year-old emerged as Japan's leading figure in boccia after the individual men's and women's events were adopted for the Tokyo Games in 2021.
