Many new heroes and heroines were born at the Tokyo Olympics, which enthusiastically wrapped all over Japan. Sakura Yosozumi (19 = Bennu), who won the gold medal at the skateboarding park women’s new competition, is one of them. Kota Hayashi, an infielder (20) from Hiroshima, said, “It was so amazing that it was famous in the local area.”

Hayashi and Yosozumi are from the same city of Iwade, Wakayama. Hayashi is one grade higher, and both of them have graduated from the local Iwade Ko and Iwade Naka, and their parents’ homes are said to be in the neighborhood about 5 minutes on foot. Although I have no direct acquaintance, Hayashi said, “I feel like I was participating in a group of children’s associations and recreation together,” with a faint memory. The skateboarding practice field, which is located in the garden of Yosozumi’s parents’ house, said, “I have seen it from a distance.”

With the feat of Yosozumi, the locals are getting excited by the festivities. Hayashi, who heard a rumor from a local acquaintance, said, “It seems that it has become a” Yosozumi Fever “. It seems that it was really exciting before the Olympics.” “I want to connect with the gold medalist. It’s the difference between heaven and earth, but it’s really amazing,” he humbly said.

Hayashi, who is in his third year of high school, is taking a break this season with his long hitting ability. He has participated in 44 games and has a batting average of 30%, 1 minute, 5 home runs, 5 home runs, and 23 RBIs. It is becoming a regular in Hiroshima. Baseball will move away from the Olympics again, but seven years later, it could be held again at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2016. If Hayashi grows steadily and gains experience, there is a good chance that he will be selected for SAMURAI JAPAN. Expectations are rising for “gold medal co-starring” with Yosozumi from his hometown.[Hiroshima charge = Ryomei Kozai]
