Not only she able to dig the spike but she also tried to controls the ball so it’s easier for the setter to set perfectly- literally real life nishinoya!
Hahahha yeah usually japan wins in most highlights in volleyball games even if they lost the match. I guess because they are fan favorite (im a big fan as well). If japan won a medal, kobata surely will win best libero and sato as best setter but they only finished 5th.
I know this video is about Kobata, but can someone enlighten me is Arisa Sato already retired? Because after the 2016 Olympics, I’ve never seen her play again in the National Team and to her club team in Japan V-League. Only two of them announced their retirement after the 2016 Olympics, Saori Sakoda and Saori Kimura, followed by Risa Shinnabe last year. I’ve never heard a news about Sato’s retirement. Is she still active?
