On May 1, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Austria Linz Junior Tournament continued, in the case of the Chinese team all abandoned, Japan and South Korea and other countries of young players are playing hard, has decided the championship of 5 men's singles events, of which only 15-year-old Japanese young Player Matsushima Huikong in the U15 group (under 15 years old) in the men's singles showdown, successfully reached the top.
Although he was born in 2007, Matsushima Huikong has shown outstanding talent, so he has always had the reputation of "Zhang Benzhi and his successor", coupled with the fact that the whole family has been born as a table tennis player for several generations, and has high hopes for the Japanese table tennis world, and is very hopeful to become a fierce enemy of national table tennis in the future.
Friends who pay attention to table tennis know that in March 2022, 5 consecutive international competitions (WTT Oman, Grand Slam, Doha Branch, Doha Regular Season, Doha Star Tournament) were held consecutively, and the Chinese team participated in the whole process and won many championships, but many people regretted losing.
However, after the arrival of April, due to the postponement of the originally planned Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, the International Table Tennis Federation did not arrange regular events, only Austria Linz held a youth competition, but no one registered for the national table tennis, so this battle became the world of foreign associations.
In the U15 men's singles competition, the Japanese players played well, sending only two athletes Matsushima Huikong, Yoshiyama and Xi to participate, and as a result, both of them reached the final, and in the end, Matsushima Huikong was obviously more skilled, and won the championship 3-1 to beat his teammates, which was not surprising.
Among the Japanese young players born around 2007, only Matsushima Huikong, Zhang Benmei and the two are the most famous and the most prominent, so it is a very normal result for Matsushima Huikong to win the championship, as for Zhang Benmeihe, he has defeated many athletes of the Chinese team in a row, and he is obviously not interested in participating in this kind of youth event.
However, in the men's singles competition in the U17 group, Matsushima Huikong was obviously much more difficult, and as a result, he lost 1-3 to South Korea's OH Junsung in the round of sixteen, and this opponent then passed the hurdle and finally defeated the Australian athlete in the final to win the championship, showing his strong strength.
In addition to OH Junsung, South Korea's Lee Ho-yoon also defeated Japan's Suzuki Sa 3-2 in the men's singles competition in the U19 group to reach the top, while the Czech Republic's Jan Skalda and Germany's Tien Nghia PHONG won the U13 and U11 men's singles championships, but this age group has relatively little to watch.
At present, the competition is still continuing, let's sit and wait for the results of the women's singles to come out!
