A few days ago, the Japanese Table Tennis Association announced a competition, that is, the Asian Games 10-person roster, led by Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayada, the only Olympic champion in the current role, Mimato Ito, was abandoned, and the world champion Yoshijun Ishikawa was absent.
Japanese table tennis participated in the Hangzhou Asian Games, who signed up?
Men's players: Tomokazu Changmoto, Maharu Yoshimura, Hayasuke Togami, Reiki Kawakawa and Daisei Matsushita
Women's contestants: Hina Hayada, Miu Hirano, Miyu Kihara, Miyu Nagasaki, Mikazu Changmoto
Among these players, the singles champions were Tomokazu Changmoto, Maharu Yoshimura, Hina Hayada, and Miu Hirano. After reading this list, I couldn't help but wonder, Mimato Ito, who is the first sister of Nippon, was actually abandoned? Riping's hand is really big.
The vacated place by Mimato Ito was given to 14-year-old Miwa Zhang Ben, which is a recognition of the strength, Miwa Zhang is young, but in the international arena, has won the WTT championship, and many non-main players of national table tennis have not fallen behind, she has also defeated Olympic champion Mimato Ito, world champion Feng Tianwei, Yoshijun Ishikawa and other players.
This time, Nippong signed up for Zhang Benmeihe, which was planned in advance, seeing that Ito Mimai had a downhill trend, exercising malleable talents early, and giving up some of the interests of veterans to continue "generational training".
In fact, strictly speaking, Ito Mimai is qualified for the Asian Games, remember that in the internal trials held by the Japanese table tennis competition, Ito Mimai got the team qualification, for her, if she can't get singles, only play a team, it is difficult to meet Ito's dream.
Recently, Mimato Ito, in poor condition, lost to Qian Tianyi, a non-core player of national table tennis at the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, and there is no coach around, I don't know why? Judging from the process of the game, today's Ito Mimako, without the previous aura, plays very "dull".
On the way to compete for Olympic qualification, I hope that Mimato Ito will not fall behind, in today's table tennis world, there are competitions in which Mimato Ito participates, watching her compete with the core players of national table tennis is an expectation of some fans.
According to the plan, the Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou from September 23 to October 8. The final list of National Table Tennis has not yet been announced.
