On August 12, the Japanese Table Tennis T League Singles Competition was released, and Ito, Ishikawa Yoshinori, Hirano Miyu, and Hayata Shina all attended the draw ceremony, which was the first time for Ito to participate in the T League.
Since the inception of the T-League in 2018, Ito has never participated, and she is not interested in it, but this time, she had to withdraw from the tournament because of the link to the Paris Olympic qualification, which is the operation of the Japanese Table Tennis Association. The winner earns 25 points in the Paris Olympic qualification competition.
The single-player competition will be held on the 13th and 14th, with 16 men's teams and 24 women's teams, and the champion will receive 1 million yen (equivalent to about 49,500 yuan).
According to the grouping that has been determined, the signature position of the main player is as follows:
1/4 Ward: Miyuki Ito, Yoshiaki Ishikawa, Miyuki Hatakezaki......
Zone 2/4: Hashimoto, Hirano, Zhang Benmei, and...
3/4th Ward: Minami Ando, Eyes Sato, Kiyoshi Hayata......
4/4 Ward: Mamoru Morikashi, Miyuki Kato, Miyu Kihara......
After the draw came out, Ito said: "This is the first official match since the 2021 National Championships, I am very happy to be able to play against Ishikawa players, I have done what I should do and prepared, I am determined to play my own game." ”
Last year's Japanese championship, Ito Mimachi led 3-1 in the big score, was reversed by Ishikawa Yoshijun 4-3, after losing the championship, Ito Mimako wept into tears, the tears of ishikawa who won the championship, the scene is still fresh in memory.
In this draw, Ishikawa Yoshijun was very helpless, she said: "I don't have the seed qualifications, so I met (Ito) early and couldn't do it, and I would concentrate on playing my own game." ”
The men's team's signings have also been released, and the specific list is as follows:
Zone 1/4: Tomokazu Jangmoto, Keiko Matsushima, Hitoshi Ueda, Hayabusa Tokami
Zone 2/4: Masataka Morien, Ariyon Daimon, Seiyoshi Yokotani, Shō Tsang
3/4th Ward: Takaki Niwa, Daisei Matsushita, Daito Tsukumi, Masaharu Yoshimura
4/4 Ward: Yukiya Uda, Rikishi Hideda, Koichi Yoshiyama, Mizuki Oikawa
Zhang Benzhi and the first round met their own successor, 15-year-old Matsushima Huikong, this game is worth looking forward to, Zhang Benzhi and the recent state is good, WTT international competition for gold and silver, Matsushima Huikong in the WTT Junior Tournament also collected gold continuously, but also bombarded teammates 11-0, Matsushima vs. Zhang Ben, what kind of wonderful can be played?
Niwa Takashi's group, there is the japanese table tennis men's team actively only has the title of world champion Maharu Yoshimura, if it is still so Buddhist, Niwa Takashi wants to go further, I am afraid it will be difficult.
For athletes who dream of qualifying for the Paris Olympics, it is the goal to pocket 25 championship points, and it will be interesting to see which two athletes can laugh to the end.
