On October 23, Beijing time, although Zhang Benzhihe and others participated in the WTT event in China, Japan's table tennis T League was still hot, and Zhang Benzhihe's teammate in the Ryukyu Club, the world champion Maharu Yoshimura, who was previously exposed to a marital cheating scandal, became the core responsibility of the team, helping the team to achieve a record of one win and one loss.
At present, it seems that Maharu Yoshimura will continue to participate in the competition, and the Japan Table Tennis Association and the T League should not pursue his personal life style problems. But even so, many fans expressed dissatisfaction: why not be banned? Hard to accept!
Maharu Yoshimura, born in 1993, is the only world champion among active Japanese male table tennis players, and in 2017 he cooperated with Yoshizumi Ishikawa to win the mixed doubles gold medal at the World Table Tennis Championships in Dusseldorf, which also prompted the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee to use the host power to add a table tennis mixed doubles event at the Olympic Games, so Mizutani Hayabusa / Misei Ito later won the championship thanks to these two teammates.
Due to the limited level of individual singles, Maharu Yoshimura has repeatedly lost the singles event of the World Series, and in recent years, there have been signs of withdrawing from the international arena, and his state has recovered after his comeback, and as a result, he was revealed to abandon his wife and son and cheat on female fans, which was shocking.
Originally, Maharu Yoshimura had publicly apologized and decided to temporarily withdraw from the T-League, and the tournament leaders also criticized him, but in a blink of an eye, everyone saw him return to the game, which immediately caused great controversy.
However, it is clear that Yoshimura's owner, the Ryukyu Club, does not intend to give up this year's championship plan, they have spent a lot of money to recruit Tomokazu Chang, and now they need Yoshimura Maharu as an assistant, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on Tomokazu Yoshimura alone, and after his comeback, Maharu Yoshimura also played very hard and won many games this season.
In the battle against Saitama on October 22, although the Ryukyu Club lost 1-3, Maharu Yoshimura defeated Hideda Rishi and took the team's only 1 point; In the battle against Tokyo on October 23, Maharu Yoshimura turned the tide even more, winning consecutive wins against Daiden Shinozuka and Mizuki Kawawa after his younger brother Kazuhiro Yoshimura lost two points and the team fell 2-1 to help the Ryukyu club turn a 3-2 defeat into victory.
For Maharu Yoshimura, now he can only try to prove his worth on the court to have a place in the Japanese table tennis scene, so can these victories dilute the impact of his negative news? Let's leave it to time to test!
