On January 29, Beijing time, bad news came from the table tennis world - world champion Miyu Hirano was found to have a positive test for new crown antigen after developing fever and other symptoms, so he had to withdraw from the ongoing Japan Table Tennis National Championships, and the opponent Song Huijia / Cost Ayami won without a fight.
What's worse is that Hirano Miyu has been active on the field these days, and has cooperated with another world champion, Ishikawa Yoshijun, to play in the women's doubles, which also means that at least they are close contacts with each other, so the health of Ishikawa Yoshijun and others has also caused widespread concern.
Born in 2000, Hirano Miyu is a very familiar table tennis player, she once won the Women's Singles World Cup at the age of 16, creating a young historical record, and later won the Asian Championships ding ning, Zhu Yuling, Chen Meng to win the championship, shocking the entire table tennis world.
Although Hirano's performance has deteriorated in recent years, she can still rank among the top three main players of the Japanese women's team, participating in international competitions such as the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships, and the World Cup, and her influence in the table tennis world is very large.
At this year's Japanese Table Tennis Championships, Hirano Miyu played poorly in singles, stopping in the round of 16, and then the women's doubles played steadily, and together with her sister Ishikawa Yoshijun, they reached the top four - the two were originally the former world number one women's doubles combination, so they were very hopeful to win the national championship.
However, at this juncture, Hirano's body suddenly had an uncomfortable reaction, and then found that she tested positive for the new crown antigen, which also made her have to interrupt the ongoing competition and did not have the opportunity to impact the championship.
As early as last year's Japanese table tennis championships, there were athletes who withdrew due to the epidemic in the arena, and men's singles civil war master Tokami Hayabusa and others were deeply affected. In addition, former Japanese national team star Kenta Matsudaira and world champion Makoto Yoshimura also contracted the virus in the past two years, but fortunately they were all cured in the end.
At present, the situation of Hirano Miyu is not clear, but we still wish her an early transition from sun to yin and return to the field, and also hope that Ishikawa Yoshijun and others can survive this crisis safely.
