In the women's singles 1/4 final of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, Chen Meng met Mimato Ito again in the women's singles competition after 3 years, and the result was that this match was different from many expected excitement, Ito Mimai was helpless in the face of the powerful Chen Meng, and was finally swept out 0:4, and Chen Meng also successfully advanced to the women's singles semifinals, the next opponent will be his teammate Chen Xingtong, and Ito Mimai also lost this game, completely ended the trip of this Durban World Table Tennis Championships, she participated in a total of two projects in this World Table Tennis Championships, They were women's singles and women's doubles, but unfortunately, both events were blocked by Chen Meng from the final four
However, in this match between Mimato Ito and Chen Meng, some abnormal situations were still discovered by many fans, first of all, this much-watched game, Mimato Ito did not have any coach guidance on the sidelines, all the rest time she was drinking water alone, wiping sweat alone, not at all like the only Olympic champion in Japan, secondly, the second doubt is that Mimato Ito in this game, no matter what kind of adversity she encountered, she didn't use a pause, giving fans the feeling, Misei Ito is not like playing the women's singles 1/4 final of the World Table Tennis Championships, but more like playing a training match
Even during the game, even the Chinese host repeatedly asked, "Why is there no coach on the sidelines" and "Isn't Mimato Ito called a timeout?" "What's even weirder is that when Chen Meng was in the lead and called a timeout, Ito Mimai didn't even drink water, simply walked around and returned to the table to prepare for the game, then when the game was over, Ito Mimako, who has always been more emotionally fluctuating, faced with this elimination, but he didn't care at all, not only did not have the scene of crying his nose in the past, but even carried his bag and happily greeted the courtside staff and left, that moment gave people the feeling that it really felt like Ito Mimai was playing a training match
However, after the game, many people claimed that Mimato Ito knew that he could not beat Chen Meng, and psychologically did not do senseless resistance, but in fact, such a statement is obviously not right, fans who know Mimato Ito and Tomokazu Zhang must know that for these first-line Japanese table tennis players, defeating Chinese players is more important than winning gold medals, and before this Durban World Table Tennis Championships, Japanese player Hina Hayata even made it clear that the goal of each competition is to defeat Chinese players, and Ito's abnormal behavior this time is actually before, Her Tokyo Olympic champion partner, Hayabusa Mizutani, is already in the bottom
Before the Japanese player left Durban, South Africa, Hayabusa Mizutani, who once won the mixed doubles gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics with Mimato Ito, revealed an unknown thing in an interview, as Ito's old partner, the now retired Hayabusa Mizutani must be one of the teammates who know Mimato Ito the best, Hayabusa Mizutani claimed that he was very worried about the state of Mimato Ito at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, on the one hand, Mimato Ito has temporarily ranked seventh in the Paris Olympic standings in the past half a year, and the whole person is very painful, She herself worries about when she can hurry up and get on board, after all, points and frequent losses can make a player collapse
But more importantly, Hayabusa Mizutani revealed that Mimato Ito had no coach on the sidelines before the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, and she had no coach on the sidelines in Japan, Hayabusa Mizutani claimed that although the relationship between players and coaches is very complicated, of course, it is difficult to handle, but now the situation without a coach is obviously very bad, because in table tennis, the power of the coach is great!
Now it seems that Hayabusa Mizutani's evaluation is very reasonable, in addition to her not being in good condition, falling out with the coach is also a big problem that troubles her, Ito has always been a player who cares about winning and losing, but as Hayabusa Mizutani said, if Ito wants to break through himself, he needs to relax his mind to play, and treat table tennis as happiness, more than anything else!
