[Overcoming the Lost Summer]Continue to work hard to achieve the dream stage of the Los Angeles Olympics! ~Fencing player Hayashi Xiangren~ News+Oh finally! Special feature

2020 has been cancelled due to the new coronavirus, including the high school general tournament, in addition to various tournaments. This is a special feature that follows the present day of high school athletes who were expected to perform well at the time. This time we will introduce Hayashi Shoren, a player from Kagoshima High School who is a “fencing player.” Hayashi Shoren, who has now become a working adult, was seen at the Ajinomoto National Training Center, where many Olympians and medalists, including Parisiolmímím gold medalist Nagano Yudai. With the aim of becoming Los Angeles three years from now, I am honing my swordsmanship in one of Japan’s most popular environments. Hayashi was a first-year high school student in the world championships under 17 years old when he was in his first year of high school, and was expected to perform even more when he was in his final year of high school. However, the “last summer” high school all-out event for junior high school students such as Hayashi was cancelled due to an unprecedented pandemic. Hayashi was acting brave at the time, but he was even more excited… The Kagoshima National Sports Festival, which was considered a surefire for him to join the team, was postponed and he lost his chance to play. I was planning to hold my hometown of Kagoshima with special feelings, which had been around for about half a century. However, the presence of the prefectural representative team was the presence of the prefecture’s representative team, which was able to walk forward without facing downwards. (Hayashi Shoren) “We all got together once, including the teacher, and the event was postponed.” “We all got their names in our T-shirts. We made something like a commemoration for the boy’s team.” The T-shirt was written with the words “crouching now for the future.” The message is conveyed to Hayashi and others, saying, “Cancellations due to the coronavirus will surely lead to the future.” And even if the overall competition was cancelled and the national competition was cancelled, the reason they were able to move forward was because they had a big goal of the Olympics! He says that he is still able to continue his efforts to achieve his dream stage because he had a place to aim for. What do you want to tell high school students who are approaching their “last summer”? (Hayashi Shoren) “If we get results, there may be an offer from the university.” “A victory in the Inter-High School Championship will be a huge title, so I think it’s a great opportunity for those of us who have lost the tournament, so I hope you do your best.” Please watch the video for more details. ■Please subscribe to our channel https://www.youtube.com/c/kkb5ch ■KKB video app “KAPLI” We are currently delivering news, videos, and information on Kagoshima! https://www.kkb.co.jp/kapli/ ■”KAPLI” X (Aim for 10,000!!) https://x.com/kapli_kkb #Lost Summer #Coronavirus #Fencing #Hayashi Shoren #High School Academic Tournament #Kagoshima #KAPLI #KKB
