On March 6, Beijing time, recently, the Japanese table tennis world is conducting a domestic national selection competition, with the purpose of selecting participants for the world table tennis team competition postponed to September. Among them, in terms of women's teams, Japan is a frequent outlaw, the active world ranking as high as 3 Ito Mimako, the upset lost to the 19-year-old Nagasaki Miyu, the final score is 4-2, Ito Mimachi is still in the lead by the opponent reversed, as a world-class player, Ito Mimachi lost to the 19-year-old is very undeserved.
In addition, the other two main players of the Japanese first team also lost, ishikawa Yoshinori against his national team teammate Hina Hayata, after 7 rounds of the battle, or lost, the big score of 3-4. Ishikawa has been the absolute main force of Japanese women's table tennis for nearly 5 years, and has even come to China to play, and his personal strength is outstanding. However, now that Ishikawa's position is no longer secure, it can be said that the rise of Hayata Shina has completely replaced Ishikawa's position in the second singles of Japanese women's table tennis. In another matchup, Miyu Hirano, who is known as a genius, lost 2-4 to Miyu Kihara, which was also a cold one.
You know, the Japanese table tennis selection of the World Table Tennis Championships team competition list, there are requirements, need to meet one of the three conditions, the first two are to get the Olympic singles medal and the World Table Tennis Championships singles medal, unfortunately only one player who meets these two conditions, that is, Ito Mimachi, who won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Therefore, Ishikawa Yoshijun and Hirano Miyu, who lost the Japanese domestic selection tournament, will directly miss to participate in the world table tennis team competition. This means that the Japanese table tennis world is experiencing the superiority of newcomers, the main players of the old generation, and the position is no longer guaranteed.
For Chinese fans, it is a pity that it is not possible to see Ishikawa Yoshijun at the World Table Tennis Championships, although it is a Japanese player, Ishikawa Yoshijun's popularity in China is very high, and the cute appearance and cheerful personality become the advantage. At the same time, Ishikawa Yoshijun is also the first fan of Chinese national table tennis Ma Long, and has publicly expressed his appreciation for Ma Long many times, and even said that he wants to form a mixed doubles with Ma Long, obviously taking Ma Long as his idol. Unfortunately, in September, the World Table Tennis Championships, Ishikawa Yoshijun will not be able to play and play with Ma Long again on the same field.
Of course, competitive sports have won, some people have been eliminated, Japanese table tennis has developed rapidly in recent years, has begun to gain a foothold in the world, in the world competition stage is no longer a running role, as a veteran Ishikawa Yoshijun, if you can not maintain a better competitive state, it is inevitable to be eliminated. At present, Japanese table tennis is still aimed at defeating the Chinese team, and they will continue to attack the national table tennis team!
