On December 16, the results of the registration for the Japan Table Tennis Championships were announced, and Ito Mimachi, known as Deng Yaping and the Great Devil, reported the women's singles and women's doubles, but Gave up the mixed doubles event.
This is not the first time that Ito has registered like this, and in the previous World Championships, Ito did not register for mixed doubles, focusing only on women's doubles and singles.
Since Hayabusa Mizutani quit (retired), Ito has lost her partner, and Masataka Morien, who was paired with her before, has not been paired with Ito. One after another, giving up the mixed doubles means that Ito Mimachi won the first gold medal in the Olympic mixed doubles, or it became a masterpiece.
At the World Championships, the Mixed Doubles combination of the Japanese team is Zhang Benzhihe / Hayata Hina, Utada Yukiya / Shibata Shaji, from the perspective of the Preparation for the Olympic Games in Paris, the Japanese Table Tennis Mixed Doubles focuses on Zhang Benzhi and / Hayata Hina.
Ito's abandonment of mixed doubles is a regrettable result for opponents, such as Liu Shiwen/Xu Xin of national table tennis, Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing of Chinese Taipei, etc., all of which have no chance to take revenge, especially the "Xinwen" combination, which partners in the competition, only loses one goal in the Olympic mixed doubles final.
Even if Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen did not have the opportunity to represent the national table tennis in international competitions, their brothers and sisters had no chance to avenge the two veterans. At the World Championships, Sun Yingsha / Wang Chuqin defeated Zhang Benzhi and / Hayata Xina 3-0, which can only be regarded as a different kind of revenge.
Abandoning the mixed doubles event, for Ito, or opportunity, she can focus on singles and women's doubles, singles to win the big competition is what she dreamed of, women's doubles partner Hayata Hina has won two world championship runners-up, or more competitive.
I don't know, give up the mixed doubles, can it be ito Mimako, really light, can do its best in a battle, in singles, can and the core players of the national table tennis hard wrench wrist, don't go to the final, it will be beaten down, and even the non-absolute core of the national table tennis can not be beaten.
If Ito does not play mixed doubles in the future, then her first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal will become a masterpiece.
