We will be focusing on Tokuda Shinnosuke and Okamoto Daisuke, the men’s handball representative players from Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Tokuda will be leading the team with Okamoto in his second Olympic challenge following the Tokyo Games. Tokuda said, “I’m not tall, but I will attack big opponents boldly. I will always speak up for the team and aim to play in a positive way.” Meanwhile, Okamoto has renewed his determination, saying, “Since I was selected, I want to do my best.” The two are graduates of Iwakuni Technical High School, and after undergoing rigorous training at the school, they have experience winning the Inter-High School Championships. Okamoto in particular has been active as a goalkeeper, despite starting handball in high school. The coach also evaluates him, saying, “He has excellent flexibility and explosiveness. He can keep the ball similar to European goalkeepers.”Tokuda, whose success at the Tokyo Olympics is still fresh in our memory, is expected to be an ace in the Paris Games. His younger brother, Tokuda Rennosuke, also made the national team in the past and became a local star with his brother, but he was not selected for the national team this time. Tokuda is prepared to take on the world with his younger brother on his shoulders. Let’s look forward to the two’s success at the Paris Olympics and cheer them on with all our might!
