Japanese women’s doubles player Chiharu Shida’s charm is undeniable. When asked about his ideal mixed doubles partner, Thailand’s Olympic silver medalist and 2023 Men’s Singles World Champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn chose the 27-year-old Japanese athlete, emphasizing that she is “very cute.”
In a social media clip circulating online, the 23-year-old Kunlavut was asked who his ideal partner would be. He responded, “Chiharu Shida, because she’s very cute. Really, really, she’s very cute.”
Both Kunlavut and Chiharu Shida made it to the podium at the recently concluded Paris Olympics earlier this month.
Kunlavut advanced to the men’s singles final after defeating Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in the semifinals but ultimately lost to Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen, securing the silver medal. Meanwhile, Chiharu Shida and her partner Nami Matsuyama claimed the bronze medal after defeating Malaysia’s Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah.
