Thai Para-Cycling Team Intensifies Training in Chiang Mai for Asian Para Games

According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the Thai national para-cycling team has been conducting intensive training at the 700th Anniversary Chiang Mai Sports Complex for over two years. This preparation is focused on the upcoming Asian Para Games, with the team setting a clear goal to secure at least one gold medal.

The training program is led by Swiss head coach Christian Stauffer, supported by team manager Asst. Prof. Dr. Ann Mahakeeta and a technical staff from Malaysia. The squad features prominent athletes such as sprinter Jaturong Niwanti and hand-cyclist Attachai Srivichai. Attachai, who transitioned to professional sports following an accident at age 18, previously earned two silver medals at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Para Games and placed seventh at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

For residents and visitors in Chiang Mai, the presence of elite athletes at the 700th Anniversary Sports Complex highlights the city's role as a hub for high-performance sports development. While the team’s dedication is evident, the final roster and the specific event schedule for the Asian Para Games remain to be confirmed. The ongoing efforts of the coaching staff to elevate the team's performance suggest a strategic approach to international competition, though the ultimate outcome of their training will only be determined during the actual games.
