The last table tennis feast of 2021 came to an end in Singapore, this event is the first WTT World Cup finals of the International Table Tennis Federation, the national table tennis won the only two gold medals, Fan Zhendong defeated Japan's Zhang Benzhihe 4-1 to win the championship, and the post-00 young player Sun Yingsha defeated teammate Wang Yidi 4-2, following the Olympic Games, the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships after winning 3 women's singles runners-up, finally won the first world series women's singles championship of his career.
The WTT World Cup Finals is closely following the pace of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the world table tennis players are constantly moving to Singapore, the Japanese table tennis women's team is also a gathering of famous players, Ishikawa Yoshijun came, Hirano Miyu came, Hayata Hina also came, but only missed Ito Mimako. What makes people wonder is, how can such a world competition be less japanese than a japanese sister?
As soon as the Houston World Table Tennis Championships ended, Ito did not move to Singapore with a large army, but returned to Japan alone, for reasons unknown. A few days ago, Ito Mimachi was interviewed by the media and revealed the reason for not participating in the WTT World Cup finals. Ito said: "I feel that the WTT World Cup Finals are not really the World Cup, but more like entertainment programs.
In Ito's eyes, the World Cup finals are like a star-studded entertainment show, and the participating athletes are like stars, such an event does not enter her eyes at all, so she refused the invitation to give up the event. Everyone was drunk and woke up alone, Ito Mimachi was too self-righteous, why did he dress himself up so high, as if he didn't eat human fireworks.
WTT World Cup Finals is a regular event is not good, the champion can get 45,000 US dollars and 1500 points, runners-up 35,000 US dollars and 1050 points ... , and the number of participation is limited, the top 16 athletes in the male and female world rankings are eligible to be invited, as soon as they play, it is a knockout match between you and me, and the fierce competition can be imagined.
There are both dollars to earn and points to take, such a good thing Ito Isomasa is willing to give up? According to the women's world rankings, ito, who is in third place, must have received an invitation, so the only explanation for why she gave up the qualification is that she has not yet recovered from the defeat in Houston.
The goal of the World Table Tennis Championships Isō Mimachi is to win the medal, but in the women's singles eight-to-four competition, he encountered the head-on blow of the national table tennis king Yidi and lost without temper. Because she was scared of being played by the national table tennis, Ito herself had no confidence in her heart, and if she lost again in Singapore, I was afraid that all her pride would be wiped out at once.
I'm not a star, so I don't participate in the World Cup this entertainment show, Ito Mimakoto this lame excuse, do you believe it?
