As the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games come to a close, gratitude is owed to the numerous Japanese volunteers who brought the Olympic spirit to life in the midst of challenging circumstances.
One Houstonian was among those who gave of their time and extended Japan’s omotenashi or hospitality to athletes from around the world.
Meet Irin Toh. Over the past two weeks, the JASH volunteer and 2020 graduate of Bellaire High School has been working the volleyball matches at Ariake Arena.
KPRC2 Keith Garvin took time to meet with Irin to learn how she made it to the games and what she has been up to!
When not preparing locker rooms for athletes, Irin could be spotted on TV mopping the courts during major matches.
Thank you, Irin, for your hard work! The Olympic Games could not have happened without you!
