On the occasion of the national table tennis all-out participation in the 2022 WTT Macau Championships, Japanese table tennis is not idle, the 2022 Japan Table Tennis Championships started as scheduled, and the Japanese table tennis that has always regarded national table tennis as the "number one" rival in the last Olympic cycle of the "conspiracy" succeeded! Recently, judging from the Japanese Table Tennis Championships, they have begun to aim for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!
National table tennis is too powerful! For this, Japanese table tennis is also well aware, although in the last Olympic cycle, japanese table tennis has cultivated such powerful players as Zhang Benzhihe and Ito Mimachi, but it is a fool's dream to "pick peaches" from the national table tennis in the men's and women's singles! Therefore, The Japanese table tennis had to find another way.
Mixed doubles is the "commotion idea" that Japanese table tennis came up with by using the identity of the host, and the national table tennis can only send a pair of players to participate, which makes Ito Andumi and Mizutani Hayabusa win the mixed doubles championship in Tokyo, which may be the only "pleasing" opportunity for Japanese table tennis in front of the national table tennis. In the 2024 Paris Olympic cycle, from the perspective of the Japanese Table Tennis Championships, they began to play a "small calculation" on the mixed doubles!
After Hayabusa Mizutani retired, Ito no longer competed in mixed doubles competitions, which may be an objective reason why she was forced to abandon mixed doubles. But Ri Ping Pong still wants to do something in the mixed doubles event, and they want to create a new mixed doubles ace combination.
Previously, Zhang Benzhihe, who was touted by the Japanese media as a "prodigy", had already appeared in his "original form" in front of the national table tennis! In the men's singles, Zhang Benzhi and difficult to do, so The Japanese table tennis began to give Zhang Benzhihe a "nother way to make a living", which is a mixed doubles competition. From the beginning of the Houston World Championships to the Japanese Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Benzhihe and Hayata Hina began to form a team to compete in mixed doubles competitions, and from the perspective of results, this pair has gained a lot!
At the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Benzhihe and Hayata Xina reached the mixed doubles final, although in the end, they lost 0-3 to Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, but for Japanese table tennis, the silver medal is also a kind of "success" test. At the Japan Table Tennis Championships, Tomokazu Jang, Hina Hayata went 3-2 consecutive matches with Kobayashi, Kobayashi, Akira Izusawa, 3-1 Igarashi Shimi, and Sugita Yonan.
Hayata Xina is a rare "left hand" player, she and the "right hand" player Zhang Benzhi and the team has a natural advantage, in the face of this pair of "new aces" created by Japanese table tennis, the challenge encountered by national table tennis is still very large, continue to let Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen this pair of "Xinwen simulcast" conquest? Or send other mixed doubles combinations to Paris in 2024, this is indeed a problem!
