On January 27, Beijing time, the Japan Table Tennis National Championships ended all the matches on the fourth matchday, and the mixed doubles and junior men's and women's singles champions have been born, of which the five olympic main players - Zhang Benzhihe, Niwa Takashi, Ito Mimachi, Ishikawa Yoshinori, Hirano Miyu have all maintained a full victory and promotion, and Zhang Benzhi and / Hayata Hina won the mixed doubles gold medal and won the first title of the New Year.
On January 28th, the Japanese Table Tennis Championships will continue, the competition will become more and more fierce, Zhang Benzhihe, Ito Mimachi and others will face challenges from all kinds of opponents, wonderful and worthy of attention!
The Japanese Table Tennis Championships have a total of 7 events, of which 5 are regular competitions, namely men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and the youth group only sets up two singles, but this part of the athletes can still participate in the duel of the adult group, so we saw Zhang Benzhi and 13-year-old sister Zhang Benmei appear in the competition of 4 events at the same time, but not a championship was won.
The two athletes who finally dominated the junior tournament were Yoshiyama and Miyu Kihara, who defeated two younger talented youngsters, Keiko Matsushima (14 years old) and Mikazu Akira Akira Hiromoto (13 years old), and both swept 3-0, completely suppressing their opponents and winning the game.
As for the regular mixed doubles match, the runner-up combination of The New Branch World Table Tennis Championships , Tomokazu Jang Honji / Hina Hayata , although they stumbled in the first few rounds and suffered two five-game battles to qualify, they defeated world champion Makoto Yoshimura and his partner Li Jia 3-1 in the final, which became their first championship in the new season.
In addition, Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayata also participated in the competition of two projects (men's doubles Zhang Benzhi and partner Masataka Morien, and women's doubles Hayata Hina partner Ito Mimako), both of which have successfully passed. Ito Mimachi, Ishikawa Yoshinori, and Hirano Miyu signed up for the women's singles and women's doubles without dropping the chain; Takashi Niwa only participated in the men's singles, and also successfully completed his debut.
The above Olympic main players have won the singles championship of the Japanese Table Tennis National Championships, and 2020 gold medalist Yukiya Utada also won in the men's singles and men's doubles, but the 2021 champion and Kawa Mizuki collapsed in the men's doubles competition, losing 1-3 with Asuka Machi to Yukiya Utada / Hayasuke Tokami (third place in men's doubles at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships).
At present, the competition in the Japanese Table Tennis Championships has not yet reached a high level of confrontation, after all, the well-known mixed doubles combinations Mizutani Hayabusa / Ito Mishimasa, Yoshimura Maharu / Ishikawa Yoshinori have not participated, and singles have only played the first few rounds, so we still sit together and wait for the new showdown to start!
