On February 5, Beijing time, the Japanese Table Tennis T League continued, han Ying, a Chinese foreign aid cutter from Germany and the runner-up of the Olympic women's team, played against the two major chipping players in Japanese table tennis - Hitomi Sato (who had won two consecutive Grand Slam Ding Ning) and Hashimoto Fanoka, resulting in Han Ying first losing 1-3, and then winning 1-0 in the decider, successfully locking in the final victory.
At present, it seems that the 38-year-old Han Ying still maintains a relatively strong combat effectiveness, but after all, the years are not spared, and her playing style is not as rare as Ni Xialian's, so it is normal to gradually go downhill, after all, the fist is afraid of less strong!
Born in 1983, Han Ying is a former table tennis player in Liaoning, China, with a right-handed horizontal flap and a solid basic skill, with a certain foundation for counter-attack. Han Ying's golden playing age was at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century when the cutting style of play was declining, so it was not easy for her to gain a foothold in the talented Chinese team, and finally chose to go far away to Germany for development.
Due to the relatively weak strength of German and European women's table tennis, Han Ying was very successful in the local area, and even won the silver medal of the Olympic women's team with her teammates, and in terms of singles, she created great pressure on Chen Meng and others in the World Cup, becoming an important member of China's table tennis "overseas corps".
In this T-League, Han Ying and two Japanese players who are also from the Cutting Gate Sect, Hitomi Sato and Hashimoto Fano kasaka, met and fought fiercely. Among them, Hitomi Sato's strength can rank in the top five in Japan, has won two consecutive victories over Ding Ning, the level is both high, and younger than Han Ying, the veteran is really difficult to compete with, and then lost 1-3 (10-11, 11-7, 8-11, 7-11).
As for Hashimoto's words, the progress in recent years has also been very large, but on the one hand, her strength is still weaker than Hitomi Sato, on the other hand, because the decider is a special format for winning and losing, so the veteran's experience advantage is greater, and finally Han Ying locked in the victory 11-8, "redeeming the merits" to help Nagoya team win 3-2 against Kyushu Club.
Now many people take the 58-year-old veteran Ni Xialian as the benchmark figure of the "evergreen tree" of table tennis, but to be fair, the average table tennis player will have a significant decline in performance after the age of 28, and there are very few people who can still be in the front line of the field and achieve good results at the age of 40, and even fewer who have not retired before the age of 50.
However, it turns out that Han Ying's strength can still reach the forefront of women's table tennis in Germany and Europe, so the next Olympic Games may see her figure on the field again, so let's wait and see!
