On March 7, Beijing time, recently, the Japanese table tennis world is holding a national selection tournament, the purpose is to select players for the 2022 World Table Tennis Championships team competition. At present, many famous Players in Japanese women's table tennis have lost out, including Ishikawa Yoshinori and Hirano Miyu, who have lost to Hina Hayata and Yumi Kihara respectively. The same loss is also Japan's active first golfer Ito Mimachi, who lost to the younger players and did not qualify for the top 8, but unlike Ishikawa Yoshinori and Hirano Miyu, who had previously won a women's singles medal at the Tokyo Olympics and had locked a place in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships in advance.
But for Ito Mimachi, as the first golfer of active Japanese women's table tennis, it is still unacceptable to lose in his own country, after the game, Ito Mimachi cried, the Japanese media released a relevant interview, Ito Mimachi appeared very sad: "Before the game began, I felt that I couldn't exert my strength, and I didn't know how to score. Then he couldn't figure out the opponent's tactics and couldn't limit his opponent's scores. At the end of the game, my feet did not listen to the call, and my brain was even more confused and could not think. I thought it was ridiculous, it was the first time I had such an incomprehensible feeling in a domestic competition. ”
Apparently, Ito was confident in his position in Japan, but he eventually lost to a young player. The last time Ito cried after the game was at the Tokyo Olympics, when Ito was twice defeated by China's Sun Yingsha, with a total score of 1-7, including one sweep, it was impossible for Ito to fight back. In the end, Ito's achievement at the Tokyo Olympics was 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, and his personal achievements created the history of the Japanese table tennis team, and he was the first player to achieve such an achievement. It was only Sun Yingsha, who lost to China's national table tennis twice in a row, that Ito Looked unwilling and cried directly after the game.
Today, Ito Mimachi's crying again is completely different from before, losing to the powerful Sun Yingsha is not willing, and losing in Japan, Ito Mimachi feels more ashamed.
It is worth mentioning that the development of Ito Mimachi today is completely consistent with the evaluation of Zhang Yining, a national table tennis star, and will not develop at a certain age. In the past, Zhang Yining analyzed it when explaining Ito Mimakoto, and evaluated Ito as "XiaoFukuhara Ai", whose early ability can be, but slowly it will not develop, and will not pose any huge threat to Chinese national table tennis.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Ito's personal performance did go downhill, the World Table Tennis Championships singles event, Ito Mimachi stopped in the women's singles competition in the top 8, lost to China's national table tennis Wang Yidi, even did not play in the semifinals, the subsequent World Cup finals, Ito Mimachi did not register. Now back in Japan, Ito Mimachi lost to the unknown youngster, the whole development trend is declining, and he has not fulfilled his original promise of "beating more Chinese national table tennis players". It can be said that the current Ito Mimachi is not only inferior to Sun Yingsha, but also compared with other players in the first team of national table tennis, she does not have an advantage, and the defeat of Wang Yidi in the World Table Tennis Championships is a proof.
In recent years, in the world table tennis world, Japanese table tennis has adopted a generational training and trained a group of strong newcomers, and Ito Yoshimachi is one of the representative figures, who was once compared with Sun Yingsha and evaluated by the media as two opponents of "a moment of Yu Liang". But at present, Ito Mimachi is still far inferior to Sun Yingsha, the little devil is the no. 1 player in the world of Xinke, and is still making continuous progress, the development space is infinite, and the development of Ito Mimachi looks weak in the future. Enter a period of stagnation.
