I saw a message on the Internet that Japanese table tennis player Ito Mimachi made an important decision: she would not participate in mixed doubles competitions in the future.
Japan's table tennis tournaments are in full swing. Mimako Ito, the first sister of Japanese women's table tennis, participated in the All Japan Table Tennis Championships, but unlike in the past, she only participated in the women's singles and women's doubles competitions, not in the mixed doubles competition.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Ito and Hayabusa Mizutani competed together in the mixed doubles competition and won the gold medal, achieving an Olympic gold medal "0" breakthrough for the Japanese table tennis team and creating the history of the Japanese table tennis team.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Hayabusa Mizutani announced his retirement. Ito has never found a suitable mixed doubles partner.
In an interview, Ito suddenly said that she had achieved her highest goal of winning the Olympic championship and could not find a partner who could replace Mizutani Hayabusa, so she decided not to participate in mixed doubles competitions in the future.
Ito is as arrogant and conceited as ever. She said that if she competes, her goal is to win an Olympic gold medal and beat the Chinese players. The Tokyo Olympics won the gold medal because of its partnership with Hayabusa Mizutani. Hayabusa Mizutani retired and could not find a suitable partner, so he quit the mixed doubles and concentrated on the women's singles and women's doubles.
Ito said this, affirming the role of Mizutani Hayabusa, because he cooperated with him and won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. After Mizutani Hayabusa retired, it was difficult for her to find a suitable partner, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to achieve good results. Another meaning is a bit arrogant. She has achieved her highest goal of winning the Olympic title. This means that her highest goal is to win the Olympic gold medal. Now that she had won the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal, she had no motivation and simply gave up and specialized in women's singles and women's doubles. This is to achieve good results in women's singles and women's doubles.
There seems to be nothing wrong with her words, but after netizens read it, they always feel that there is something wrong, is it too far-fetched.
First of all, winning the championship in the Tokyo Olympics, she and Mizutani Hayabusa played really well, but we also had to see that Liu Shiwen was in a bad state due to physical reasons at that time, so she gave Ito Mishimasa and Mizutani Hayabusa a chance. If Liu Shiwen is in better shape, it will be their turn to win the championship. I don't believe that she and Mizutani Hayabusa paired up with Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen again to see if they can still win?
As for not being able to find a partner who can replace Mizutani Hayabusa, I don't know what the other male players in Japan will think when they hear it. Ito's words meant that the other male players in Japan could not achieve the effect of The Mizutani Hayabusa, and I wondered if it would hurt their hearts.
The main reason why Ito gave up mixed doubles is that it will be difficult to achieve the same results as the Tokyo Olympics in the future. She gave up mixed doubles, then the Tokyo Olympics became her peak, leaving a good memory. If you don't fight in the future, you can keep this good memory, and you can also not be hit. As netizens said: "As long as you don't fight, you won't lose." I understand, I understand. ”
At the same time, she wants to devote her energy to women's singles and women's doubles. In fact, Ito's idea is not wrong. There are not many female players who are good at Japanese table tennis, so Japanese table tennis pins the hopes of female players on Ito Mimako, and often let Ito Mimachi do three things. Ito also shouted the slogan of winning the triple crown many times, but in the end it became empty words. At the level of her and her teammates, how is it possible to win gold? The Tokyo Olympics were nothing more than an accident. She put her energy on women's singles and women's doubles, which is also a helpless move to a certain extent, and her energy and physical strength are good.
National table tennis rarely places three items on a player. Although the national table tennis players also have a time to win the triple crown in one event.
Ito's idea is good, but don't bring up the Tokyo Olympics. It seems that it can also win the championship in the women's singles, women's doubles, and women's team. That's too much to overestimate yourself. With the strength of Ito, in addition to winning the mixed doubles championship at the Tokyo Olympics, can you win the national table tennis players at other times? She couldn't beat Chen Meng, and then she lost Sun Yingsha six times in a row, and then lost Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi. The better female table tennis players in the national table tennis team can basically win Ito Mimako, which is her turn.
Ito was right to find a way to improve his competitive ability. If she's too weak, international competitions won't be much fun. We need some high-level players to make international competitions more level and more competitive, so that the game is better. Our players are never afraid of opponents, they are strong, will give our players motivation, make our players stronger. We are confident that we will continue to maintain a high standard and continue to stand tall in the forest of the world table tennis scene.
