Zhang Benmei and helplessly! has lost the Olympic singles in advance, talking about the team quota: there is nothing that can be done

The 2024 Paris Olympics is approaching, and the competition situation within the national table tennis rival - the Japanese team is gradually becoming clear, and the 15-year-old Chinese teenager Zhang Benmeihe, who has attracted much attention, has been confirmed in advance to miss the Olympic singles event. Although many people in Japan and the world table tennis are looking forward to Miwa Zhang to participate in the team competition, she can only express her helplessness about this, and said bluntly in an interview:

"The third (Olympic team) quota was recommended by the association, so there was nothing that could be done and I had to be aware of that. ”

At present, it seems that even if Miwa Zhang has won against Misei Ito, Miu Hirano, and Hina Hayata, the possibility of her wanting to participate in the Paris Olympics with her brother is very slim, and she may have to wait another four years for the next four years!

Friends who follow the table tennis world know that the selection of the Japanese table tennis team in the Paris Olympic cycle adopts a point system, and the athletes need to accumulate points through a series of domestic and foreign competitions, among which the top two players will get the singles and team places, and the remaining team seats will be determined by the direct assignment of the Japan Table Tennis Association.

Prior to this, Zhang Benmeihe was too late, so even if he had been catching up in the past year, it had been determined in advance that it was impossible to become the top two in the team's standings, so it was a foregone conclusion that he would lose the singles, but theoretically the team competition could be fought for.

However, even if the Japan Table Tennis Association stipulates that the third person in the team is assigned, but considering the specific situation of the Japanese table tennis world, it is not surprising that the third-place athlete in the standings will be awarded - the last Tokyo Olympics also stipulated that the third person in the team is assigned, and the top two players in the world ranking team participated in singles, and the last team place was still given to the third-ranked player in the team.

At present, Zhang Benmeihe not only can't get the top two in the standings, but also can't even get into the top three, so not to mention singles, even team places are difficult to obtain, so she doesn't have much hope for her Olympic future next year.

Zhang Benmei's current situation actually appeared in the last Olympic cycle - when Hina Hayada made a strong effort in the second half of the year, and the upward momentum was rapid, but because of the late development, the world ranking was never able to rank in the top three, and finally missed the Olympic qualification;

What's more, Zhang Benmeihe is only 15 years old now, even if she participates in the Olympics in 2028, she will only be 20 years old, she is still very young, and she is not considered an older player to participate in the next two sessions: although there is a high probability that she will miss the opportunity next year, she is likely to make a big difference in the next eight years!

Then let's wait and see the new dynamics of this table tennis player!
