## Caption

At the 1998 Nagano Paralympic Winter Games, an engineer was working inside a small van, building a sit-ski step by step.

That sit-ski was made for Obinata Kuniko. Competing in front of her home crowd, Obinata delivered a historic performance, winning gold in women’s sitting #ParaAlpine skiing and becoming one of the defining athletes of Nagano 1998.
