The Macau Championship Challenge has recently come to an end, and in the semi-finals of the previous one, the match between Chan Xingtong and Misei Ito has attracted much attention. The reason is because Wang Manyu and Chen Meng have been eliminated before, so the remaining Ito Misei will be sniped by which female general of the national table tennis has always attracted everyone's attention.
In the end, after Chen Xingtong swept Mimako Ito with a big score of 4:1, many fans were quite happy, and many fans were proud of her, and it was quite a remarkable process to complete the task of sniping at the Japanese first sister. After this competition, talking about this journey to face Misei Ito's opponent, Chen Xingtong said his views and mental journey, did not expect to honestly say his heart this time, but accidentally revealed the old scars on Liu Shiwen's side.
In the process of this competition, although Mimako Ito wanted to win very much and had a very strong desire to win, but helplessly in the face of absolute strength, Chen Xingtong did not leave any chance for the Japanese first sister. Although Misei Ito pulled back a game in it, in the end, he lost to the big dark horse of national table tennis and was finally eliminated. From the perspective of the world ranking, Ito Misei ranked in the top five, while Chen Xingtong was only ranked about 11th, but this time Ito Misei was actually eliminated, from which it can be seen that the ranking does not explain anything, and the state and real strength are the ones that determine everything.
After this match, some media interviewed Chen Xingtong about Misei Ito, a strong opponent, and how was he prepared for this match? In this interview, Chen Xingtong roughly meant this, she said that this time the competition with a fighting attitude to play her own results, Ito Mimako is indeed very powerful, previously won the Olympic mixed doubles championship and ranked higher than herself. This in itself sounds like no problem, but the problem is that it was at the scene of the game that day, and Liu Shiwen also went to the scene to watch the game, including Wang Manyu appearing on the scene, and Chen Xingtong had some controversy with this remark.
Remember that in last year's Tokyo Olympics, the only gold medal lost by national table tennis was the mixed doubles gold medal of Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin. At that time, Liu Shiwen, who burst into tears during the interview, looked really sad, and in sharp contrast, Misei Ito celebrated wildly after winning the championship that day, which made fans quite regretful. The loss of the gold medal in the mixed doubles at the Olympic Games should be something that Liu Shiwen is sad about, so some fans believe that Chen Xingtong should not mention it in an interview that day.
In fact, from the current point of view, Chen Xingtong is definitely not intentional, she is just objectively analyzing Ito's achievements. And I believe that for Liu Shiwen, she will not be so stingy to care about these things, after all, for athletes, competitive sports have gains and losses should calmly face every defeat and every victory. So I believe that although Liu Shiwen was in tears at that moment, but at this moment everything has passed, and now she pays more attention to the future and hopes that these young players of national table tennis can take over her class and achieve good results.
So in general, I hope that fans will focus on the follow-up games next, continue to cheer for the national table tennis, and look forward to everyone being more proud of the results.
