After the defeat could not be more bitter in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympic Games 2024 when missing 4 match-point in the quarterfinals against Italy, the Japanese male volleyball team leader said he did not give up his Olympic dream.
In a recent interview with Fuji TV, the Asia No. 1 Men's Volleyball Superstar – Yuki Ishikawa said he had determined to redo everything at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Yuki Ishikawa said: “I feel that the debt with the Olympics can only be paid at the Olympics. Therefore, my goal is to continue towards medals and become the best in the world in Los Angeles 2028”.
The owner said he had witnessed a similar case at the Olympics but with another result. That helped him think about what made Japan unable to end the match with the Italians.
He said: “We lost because we could not score a point and that reminded us how important each score was. I was very disappointed after that but I continued to watch the Olympic. I think maybe I need to trust myself more in the same case.”
Men's male volleyball goes through unfortunate results, they are eliminated in a more bitter way. Comes with the farewell of many athletes with the national team.
The duo Kentaro Takahashi and Akihiro Yamauchi will all break up with the Japanese men's volleyball team while Yuji Nishida will also temporarily stop the national team and leave the ability to return at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
