On the afternoon of January 29, Beijing time, the women's doubles final of the Japan Table Tennis National Championships came to an end, the number one opponent of national table tennis, Ito Mimako, won the first crown of the New Year, and defeated the opponent Song Huijia / Cost Ayakai 3-1 after 4 rounds of vicious battles with her partner Hina Hayata, winning the national championship of the project for 4 consecutive times, creating a new historical record, which is really too strong!
Regrettably, this match can hardly be called the strongest women's doubles match in Japanese table tennis, because the final battle that everyone expected was Ito Mimakoto / Hayata Shina vs Ishikawa Yoshinori / Hirano Miyu, but Hirano Miyu was forced to withdraw from the competition because of a positive covid-19 test.
At present, Hina Hayata has won the mixed doubles and women's doubles championships, and is about to impact the title of "Triple Crown" in the national championship, which is worth paying attention to!
The Women's Doubles of the Japanese Table Tennis Team is outstanding, and this championship is also a collection of three high-level combinations, namely Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina (Two consecutive World Table Tennis Championships, three consecutive Championships), Ishikawa Yoshinori / Hirano Miyu (former world number one), Nagasaki Miyu / Kihara Miyu (former world number one).
Unfortunately, the last two pairs dueled in the quarter-finals, resulting in the two world champions laughing at the end, Ishikawa Yoshinori / Hirano Miyu narrowly won 3-2 to advance; and after winning this hard-won victory, Hirano Miyu lost to the new crown virus, directly missed the semi-finals, and finally Song Huijia / Cost Ayakai advanced to challenge Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina.
Even before the finals even started, many people were already predicting where the final winner would belong. It is no wonder, after all, ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina has not ranked first in the world, the rest of the international competitions and domestic competitions are the strongest in the Japanese table tennis world, and the singles strength of the two is also stronger than Song Huijia and cost Ayami, so the competition between the two sides seems to have no suspense.
After the game began, Ito Mimachi / Hina Hayata quickly grasped the initiative on the field, but Song Hye-jae / Cost Aya hai also cherished the rare opportunity to play back, desperately fighting back, but unfortunately the two sets were reversed, and finally the big score was 1-3 defeat (10-12, 11-7, 12-14, 5-11), and the most ended up with a silver medal: tried my best, I really couldn't beat it!
Prior to this, Ito Mimachi / Hina Hayata had won the women's doubles championship in three consecutive national championships in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and after stopping the doubles event in 2021, they won the gold medal in 2022, which is really the strongest combination in Japan!
In addition, Ito Mimachi also achieved the "Triple Crown" in two consecutive national championships in 2018 and 2019, and Hina Hayata also won the women's doubles and women's singles titles in 2020, so can she win three gold medals like a partner this year? The answer is about to be revealed tomorrow, let's wait and see!
