The Tokyo Olympics (Olympic) basketball women’s first league group B, Japan vs. Belgium was broadcast live on the TV Tokyo network on the 4th. Japan defeated Belgium and made it into the top four for the first time in history.

One of the characteristics of Japanese women’s basketball is that they challenge foreign players with different physiques with “small basketball” that makes the most of their speed. At the start of the game, Mitsuhiro Nakamura, an announcer of Fuji TV, said, “This is a great challenge for small Japanese basketball. The challenge to the world’s best 4 and the new history of the Japanese basketball world will begin.” The curtain was raised. The commentary is Mikiko Hagiwara.
