Japanese coach filmed repeatedly slapping student

A video has emerged showing a volleyball coach repeatedly slapping a schoolboy — just days after Tokyo was awarded the 2020 Olympics — in the latest example of brutality to tarnish Japanese sport.

A short clip posted on YouTube and other video-sharing sites showed the teacher at Hamamatsu Nittai Senior High School in central Japan smacking the student’s face at least 13 times in 16 seconds. The incident was authenticated by the school.
