Fukuhara Aibole appealed: Have the courage to send Miwa Zhang to represent Japan in the Paris Olympics
2023 China Table Tennis Super League Women's Team Final Preview: At 3 pm on December 24, Shenzhen University vs Shandong Luneng. It's a pity that CCTV doesn't broadcast live, and a certain Mi Mougu costs money.
It is said that on a certain Douyin, you can search for a live broadcast.
The leaders of the Shenzhen University team are Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, and Shandong Luneng is led by Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong. In addition to Wang Yidi, the top five big flowers in national table tennis are all together.
Sun Yingsha is rare to meet opponents in China, and she is also majestic in the world. Recently, the Japanese women's table tennis team has posed a certain threat to her, Miu Hirano (WTT Zagreb lost the title 3-4 Sasha) and Miwa Zhangmoto.
There are already table tennis professionals in Japan who have voiced their voices: sending 15-year-old Miwa Zhang to the Paris Olympics is a courageous choice!
Japanese media "FNN Online" reported: "Send 15-year-old Miwa Zhang to be the representative! Athens Olympics coach proposed the courageous choice to defeat the table tennis kingdom at the Paris Olympics!".
The competition for the Japanese women's team in table tennis at the Paris Olympics is unprecedented. Singles 2 + Team Battle 1 representatives, a total of 3 places.
Takuji Nishimura, the coach of the women's table tennis team at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 15-year-old Ai Fukuhara at the time, strongly recommended the possibility of 15-year-old Miwa Zhang participating in the Paris Olympics.

In the singles and doubles team competitions, the Japan Table Tennis Association Reinforcement Headquarters has decided on a player who can be expected to play an active role. The fourth spot (P card player) is called "alternate player for team battle representatives" in Japan.
Takuji Nishimura: "The theme of Japanese table tennis is to defeat China and seize the throne. So whether you can decide whether you can win or lose this time, it's really Zhang Benmeihe. If it were me, I would think of using you. When I was the coach of the national team, Ai Fukuhara was exactly 15 years old. There is momentum and youth, and no one can stop it. So now, who is such a player? Of course, it is Miwa Zhangmoto. ”
Takuji Nishimura also said: "Zhang Benmei is young, and his ranking has also risen. Everyone's research on her is not so thorough. She's still unknown. It is also a terrible existence for China. The important thing is that Zhang Ben is also very good in doubles. Because the forehand is strong, this becomes very important in doubles. There is still more than half a year before the Paris Olympics, isn't it enough to prepare? I wonder if it's going to make a big fuss.
Fifteen-year-old Miwa Haramoto looked sideways at the fierce competition between Hina, Hina, Miu Hirano, and Misei Ito, who are known as the "millennials", and made rapid progress in international competitions.
In October's world rankings, she surpassed Miu Hirano, who was previously ranked third among Japanese players, to move up to No. 15.
At the last domestic 2023 selection meeting in November, the Tsunn-no Cup Osaka Conference, in the quarterfinals, Miwa Haramoto overtook Misei Ito to win. In the final, she was not afraid of Queen Hina Hayata, staged a confrontation, won for the first time, and won the championship.
In December, world No. 15 Miwa Harimoto also appeared at the WTT Women's Finals in Nagoya, where players ranked within 16th in the world competed. On the other hand, Miu Hirano, ranked 17th in the world, was unable to attend the event.
Of course, the three players of China, the world table tennis kingdom that continues to dominate the top three, also appeared. Zhang Benmei and world No. 1 Sun Yingsha (China) faced off in the first round and staged a full set of hot matches, forcing world No. 1 Sun Yingsha to the final tiebreaker.
From the world ranking of 45th in December 2022 to the momentum of jumping to 15th place in one fell swoop in a year, Zhang Benmei and the world table tennis world were shocked.
The table tennis team for the Paris Olympics will determine three players based on the results of the All Japan Championships to be held in January 2024.
In the singles 1 spot, Hina Hayata, who is far ahead in the first place, has already been decided.
Miu Hirano, who was second in the points, and Mimato Ito, who was third, chased each other by a narrow margin. Who will finish second will be determined by the results of the All Japan Championships in January next year.
If the points are in order, the three places including the team representatives will be determined by these three players.
