Hinako Shibuno holds a softball tournament and competes seriously against the Tokyo Olympics gold medalist. “It’s an honor” to have 1 win and 1 loss ———————— ————- On the 24th, female golfer Hinako Shibuno participated in the “Shibuno Hinako Cup 2nd Okayama Prefecture Elementary School Softball Tournament,” which she sponsored. Hinako Shibuno has been playing softball since she was 8 years old with the Okayama Hirashima Sports Boys Club. We hope that this tournament will be a tournament for local Okayama elementary school students as they prepare to move on to junior high school, deepen interactions between competitors from nearby areas, provide an environment where athletes can play with smiles, and become the last memories of elementary school students. I thought about it and realized it. “Softball raised her, and she wanted to give back,” she said. At the first pitch ceremony, she had a serious battle with guests Nodoka Harada, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics softball gold medalist, and Eri Yamada. Pitcher Hinako Shibuno told her not to hit her body, and although she cried out, “It’s scary,” she finished off Harada with a high fastball. On the other hand, Yamada carried her to the front right of her, and although she had “1 win and 1 loss,” she said with a smile, “It’s a dream match. It’s an honor.” Video: https://youtu.be/BEM3f-wRwcc
