Beijing time on January 4 news, Ito Mimako reviewed her performance at the Tokyo Olympic Games, in the semi-finals, she was swept 4-0 by Sun Yingsha. Now, Ito has revealed that she failed miserably because she was injured, her feet blistered badly, and she was so sore that she couldn't walk, and finally took painkillers to insist on finishing the game.
In the semi-final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Ito Did not have any chance, in the first set, Sun Yingsha won 11-3 cleanly; in the second set, Ito Meimai led 9-3, but Sun Yingsha scored 8 consecutive points to reverse, completely crushing Ito's fighting spirit. In the third set, 11-8, Sun Yingsha led 3-0, and Ito Mimachi was gone. In the fourth set, Sun Yingsha won 11-4. At the time, Ito was frustrated, but helpless.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Ito Mimachi actually found an excuse for himself. She said, "Before the semi-final with Sun Yingsha, my feet blistered and I couldn't walk in pain. After seeing the doctor, the doctor said that he wanted to operate, at that time, I wanted to puncture the blisters, and finally insisted on finishing the game by eating painkillers and bandages. ”
Ito said so, even Japanese netizens did not buy it, "If you lose, you will lose, and it is not good to find excuses." Blisters on your feet, do you need surgery? ”
There are also Japanese fans who support Ito, "Come on! I believe that sooner or later you will defeat Sun Yingsha! ”
In 2021, Ito won the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal, and she and Mizutani Hayabusa made history. But in the singles competition, Ito Mimachi was a bit embarrassed, losing to Sun Yingsha at the Tokyo Olympics and Wang Yidi at the World Table Tennis Championships.
Today, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi seem to be obstacles that Ito Mimachi cannot overcome.
Ito is only 21 years old and seems to have a lot of room for improvement, but she needs more high-quality training. For example, in the national table tennis team, casual simulation matches are fiercely competitive, but in Japan, there are too few players who can compete with Ito Mimachi. In terms of training quality, Ito is not as good as the main players of national table tennis.
