Kaishu Hirano is now aiming for a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Ayumu Hiran, his older brother, is a two-time silver medalist in the Winter Olympics.
Ayumu has already won several medals, and his brother is aiming for the same.
He stated that his older brother inspires him and that he aspires to be like him. He also stated that his brother would be overjoyed if he won a medal at the Youth Olympics.
Is Kaishu Hirano Related To Ayumu Hirano?
Ayumu Hirano is the elder brother of Kaishu Hirano.
Ayumu, a two-time men’s halfpipe silver medalist, competed in his third Winter Games alongside his four-year-old brother, Kaishu.
Kaishu, the runner-up in the 2020 Youth Olympic Games, will compete in his first Olympic Games in Beijing.
They’ve wanted to compete in the Olympics side by side since they were kids, and now they’ll get their chance.
Ayumu, the second oldest of three children, and Kaishu, the youngest, will be in an extremely rare company if they both reach the podium.
At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games last summer, judoka siblings Abe Hifumi and Uta won gold on the same day.
Prior to that, Miyake Yoshinobu and Yoshiyuki won gold and bronze in men’s weightlifting at Mexico 1968, but that was the only time Japanese siblings medaled at the same Games.
Ayumu and Kaishu would be the first to accomplish the feat at a Winter Games, and based on the results of the X Games in Aspen on January 21, the idea is not out of the realm of possibility.
Kaishu Hirano Age
Kaishu Hirano is 19 years old as of now. The athlete was born on October 14, 2002.
Kaishu is four years Ayumu junior.
Kaishu is also following in the footsteps of his older brother. He has also participated in a number of snowboarding competitions.
He has several silver and bronze medals from various competitions. In 2019/2020, he also won gold at the North American Cup – Copper Mountain. Kaishu was inspired by his brother to go snowboarding.
Despite the fact that Kaishu is new to the profession, he has demonstrated his abilities in the same way that his brother has.
