On January 28, Beijing time, Japanese table tennis player Ito Mimachi said when participating in the domestic table tennis championships that he would not participate in mixed doubles competitions in the future, but would focus on singles and women's doubles. "If I play, my goal is to get an Olympic gold medal and beat the Chinese players. At the Tokyo Olympics, because I was paired with Hayabusa Mizutani, I was able to win the Olympic gold medal, and I can confidently say that I won the Chinese players and should not play mixed doubles competitions again. ”
This means that Ito will give up the mixed doubles events in the future and focus on playing women's singles and women's doubles events. Ito's decision was wise and belonged to the act of accepting what was good. Previously, in the final of the mixed doubles event at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Ito mishimasa partnered with veteran Mizutani Hayabusa to reverse the combination of Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin, who defeated the Chinese national table tennis team, successfully won the gold medal and won the first gold in the history of the Japanese table tennis team in the Olympic games, which can be described as a big winner. But after the Olympics, Hayabusa Mizutani announced his retirement, and Ito lost his partner, using this reason to choose to say goodbye to the mixed doubles event.
It is worth mentioning that this time Ito Mimako also emphasized another thing, that is, he hopes to beat more Chinese national table tennis players in women's singles, women's doubles and other events, which is undoubtedly a very difficult goal. It should be known that in addition to the mixed doubles event of the Olympic Games, Ito Mimachi has been losing in many major competitions so far, losing to Chinese national table tennis players. In the Women's Team and Women's Singles Competitions at the Olympic Games, She has lost twice to Sun Yingsha of Chinese National Table Tennis, and both times they have swept.
At the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Ito played in the women's singles and women's doubles events, boldly attacking medals and even gold medals, but was eliminated by the Chinese national table tennis players, and the women's singles event was defeated by Wang Yidi of the Chinese national table tennis, and even the top 4 could not enter. The women's doubles reached the final, also losing to the Chinese national table tennis player and losing to the combination of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.
It can be seen that Ito Isomasa is difficult to seek to beat more Chinese national table tennis players in women's singles, women's doubles and other projects, and it is basically difficult to have a head start. After the failure of the multi-line battle of the World Table Tennis Championships, Ito did not even participate in the follow-up World Cup finals, and his emotions have been affected.
Of course, as a world-class outstanding athlete, Ito Mimachi's positive attitude of wanting to defeat stronger opponents is commendable, Chinese national table tennis has ruled the world table tennis for decades, and it is a pride to be able to beat any Chinese national table tennis player, so Ito Mimachi will work hard with this goal.
Unfortunately, due to the strong talent reserve of China's national table tennis, Ito Mimachi is expected to be difficult to achieve too much in the world, and Ito Mimachi's age wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha are already the main force of the national table tennis women's team, Wang Manyu has won the domestic National Games women's singles championship, the World Table Tennis Championship women's singles champion, the Macao championship women's singles champion, there is a trend of the new sister of the national table tennis women's team, Sun Yingsha is Ito Mimako's nemesis. Under such suppression, it is too difficult for Ito to do a counterattack, and once it can be achieved, I believe that it can be loaded into the world table tennis world, and it is necessary to see Ito's own creation.
