All the draw groups for the 2024 All-Day Championship have come out, with Mimato Ito and Miu Hirano not registering for any international events in January. The main task of these two players is to prepare for the All-Day Championships, which must be played well to qualify for the Olympic Games. Now the competition within Japanese table tennis is more involuted than that of national table tennis, and the choice of Japanese table tennis is too great.
Misei Ito and Miu Hirano are now separated by less than 40 points in the Olympic selection points, and both of them will be able to catch the last train to the Olympics. While there are three quota places for the Olympics, with Mimato Ito and Miu Hirano battling for a ticket to the singles, Hina Hayada has basically secured the other spot.
Both Misei Ito and Miu Hirano know that if they don't get a place in the singles, they won't get a place in the team competition. The main reason is that Zhang Benmeihe's rise is too fast, and the Japanese table tennis coaching staff has the final decision on the last place to participate. Through the finals, the table tennis coaching staff and fans have seen clearly that Misei Ito's strength is far behind Miwa Zhangmoto.
The current Ito Miyu's honesty is far inferior to players such as Nagasaki Miyu and Kihara Miyu, and fans with a little bit of brains can see it. It is impossible to participate in the Olympics at this level, and Japanese table tennis has a better choice, as long as Ito does not get a singles quota, Japanese table tennis will not give Ito a quota for the team competition.
In fact, the selection of Japanese table tennis is mainly to choose two singles places, and the number of participants in the team competition is still decided by Japanese table tennis. This is also a lesson learned from the experience of the Tokyo Olympics, and the team competition should have been given to Hina Hayada in the last Olympic cycle, otherwise it would not have been swept by the national table tennis.
Therefore, this time, Ito has reached the last moment of hard work, and he will not be able to get a quota for this Olympic cycle, let alone the next Olympic cycle. However, Ito made history by participating in the 2016 Rio Olympics at the age of 16. Don't look at Ito, who is only in his early 20s, and has already participated in two consecutive Olympic Games.
Today's Ito Misei still has a high-minded and arrogant mentality, but his strength is not as good as before, especially in the external competition, there is no advantage. This time, Ito Misei will have a battle with Zhang Benmiwa in the 7/8 area in the 6/8 area sooner or later, and Ito Misei may not meet Zhang Benmeiwa this time and be eliminated from the competition.
Because in the same half of the district as Ito, there are U15 players such as Ai Takamori and Yuna Koshio, and the strength of these players is also outstanding. Judging from the current state of Misei Ito's ups and downs, it is very likely that he will not even be able to make it to the quarterfinals. Ito is a more emotional player, which also limits her potential to a large extent.
Another Japanese table tennis player, Miu Hirano, is slightly better than Misei Ito, but judging from the current rise rate of Miwa Zhangmoto, if Miu Hirano can't get a place in the singles, he still won't get a place in the team competition. Miu Hirano was assigned to the top half of the zone this time, and the main competitors were Satsuki Oto and Hina Hayata.
Last time, Miu Hirano was defeated by Satsuki Oto in the qualifying round, and this time it was a battle of revenge for Miu Hirano. In fact, this kind of all-day tournament is indeed prone to upset games. Miu Hirano is also a veteran among the current Japanese table tennis players, and it is inevitable that she will be impacted.
Fortunately, this time Nagasaki Miyu and Hayada Hina had to fight in advance, otherwise Miyu Hirano would have had the upper hand in the face of Nagasaki Miyu. Miu Hirano is mainly because of the heavy ideological baggage, which has something to do with the players themselves. The reason why Miu Hirano's state fluctuated significantly in the game was that she had too many ideas and could not strengthen her confidence in the game.
Miu Hirano is not as impactful as the current Miwa Zhangmoto, and she is very happy with her current form, or she has misjudged the current Olympic competitive situation. Miu Hirano should Xi learn from Hina Hayata, although Hina Hayada has already won the singles quota in the internal competition, but Hina Hayada has gone all out in every competition and is not complacent because she has won the quota.
Miu Hirano lacks the aggressiveness of Hina Hayata, so if she wants to make a singles spot now, she can only hope that Misei Ito will make a mistake. If it weren't for the obvious decline in Ito's state now, Miu Hirano would not have been able to occupy a favorable position. In fact, even if she currently gets the singles quota for the Olympic Games, she may be eliminated by other foreign players in advance when she really comes to the Olympic Games.
Miu Hirano was defeated by North Korea's Bian Songkyung this year, and the two sides met for the first time in their careers. The reason why Miu Hirano lost to her opponent was that her ability to resist pressure was too weak, and her opponent would be at a loss if she strengthened the quality of her singles a little more. If North Korean players participate in next year's Olympic Games, Miyu Hirano estimates that it will be difficult to meet national table tennis players and be eliminated.
Although this all-day championship is a competition between Japanese table tennis players, it also has an important impact on the current national table tennis, and will even affect the arrangement of the national table tennis coaching staff. Although Miyu Hirano is not as strong as before, she can still have a direct impact on Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, and this year she has dragged these two national table tennis players to the tiebreaker.
If Ito wins the All-Day Championships, he will definitely get a place in the singles at the Olympics. In this way, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi have a higher probability of winning the singles quota for the Olympic Games, because Chen Meng and Wang Yidi can form a direct crushing advantage over Ito Misei and have an advantage in the results. So it seems that it is a selection tournament for Japanese table tennis, and it also has an impact on the rival national table tennis.
