[Saba Sports News] Recently, Japanese badminton player Chiharu Shida shared a set of beautiful photos taken during her visit to Disneyland on social media, attracting strong attention from fans. In the photos, Shida, wearing a cute hat, posed fearlessly for close-up shots, displaying a sweet smile. The heartwarming images prompted fans to leave comments and likes, with one fan joking: “Another day lost in the beauty of sister Chiharu.” In the recently concluded 2024 All Japan Badminton Championships, Shida partnered with Nami Matsuyama to win the women’s doubles championship, marking the first time the two have claimed this title at Japan’s highest level event. However, as Matsuyama is set to recover from an injury, Shida will partner with Misaki Matsutomo, the gold medalist in women’s doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics, in the upcoming tournaments. Sweet-looking Shida has been named one of the world’s top ten badminton goddesses for five consecutive years, praised by fans worldwide for her “first love face.”
