On December 15, Beijing time, the first-line media accounts in the domestic table tennis field announced an interview with Sun Yingsha, which was a conversation with the little devil before the World Table Tennis Championships, and the content exposed a number of details about Sun Yingsha's competition process, the most interesting of which was naturally the showdown with Japanese player Ito Mimachi at the Tokyo Olympics. Sun Yingsha admitted in the interview that it was the most nervous to play Ito Mimachi at the Olympic Games, because Ito Mimachi was already an Olympic champion (mixed doubles), but Sun Yingsha was not yet, and Sun Yingsha herself thought that it should be a low posture to impact Ito Mimachi. In the end, Sun Yingsha has won against Ito Mimachi twice, a women's singles semi-final, a women's team final, the total score of the two matches is 7-1, Sun Yingsha won.
Judging from the results, Sun Yingsha said that she was a little low-key and modest in playing Ito Mimachi nervously, and sun Yingsha firmly suppressed Ito Mimachi most of the time in the two games, and her strength was basically in an advantage. Therefore, with nervous evaluation or appear Sun Yingsha modest, the only explanation should be that Sun Yingsha as a member of the national table tennis team in the Olympic games against the players from the Japanese team, there will be pressure on the psychological level, if you lose, I believe that public opinion criticism of Sun Yingsha will be overwhelming, fortunately, Sun Yingsha finally won.
In addition, Sun Yingsha also stressed that during the Olympic Games at that time, Chairman Liu Guoliang and Li Falcon's guidance had been doing psychological counseling for themselves, which gave Sun Yingsha great help, which can be seen that Chairman Liu and Director Li attached great importance to Sun Yingsha, and had high expectations for this young general, and gave help from details.
After the Tokyo Olympic women's team won gold and the women's singles won silver, Sun Yingsha's other two world championships in the middle and late 2021 were good results. In the World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha fought in the third line, and finally achieved a result of 2 gold and 1 silver, which was the best in the entire national table tennis team, with a personal record of 16 wins and 1 loss, and even once hoped to achieve the achievement of winning 3 gold, but unfortunately the women's singles final lost to the national table tennis teammate Wang Manyu.
In the World Cup event, Sun Yingsha will pass the level to reach the women's singles final and win the women's singles championship with the performance of her national table tennis teammate Wang Yidi. These achievements are enough to reflect Sun Yingsha's excellence, to know that she has just passed her 21st birthday, is still a young player, the future world championships that belong to Sun Yingsha will only be more.
Considering that Ito and Sun Yingsha are of similar age, and Ito Mimachi is the strongest female player in the Japanese table tennis world, there will be more meetings between the two in the future, and the Sino-Japanese showdown has always been enough to attract the attention of the outside world, I believe that Sun Yingsha will experience more challenges in the future, and I believe that she can survive all difficulties!
