Misei Ito posted a New Year's message: "Happy New Year, I want to challenge a lot of things and live a happy life." Ito's greatest wish must be to compete in the Paris Olympics as a women's singles player. But the situation is not so rosy!
Japan's Women's Singles Olympic Selections Top Five:
1.Kino Hayata 790.5 minutes 2.Miu Hirano 486 minutes
3. Misaki Ito 451.5 minutes 4. Miyu Kihara 354 minutes
5. Zhang Benmeihe 330.5 points
Hayada locked in a spot, while Ito and Hirano were separated by 34.5 points. However, there is only one domestic selection tournament left, and that is the All Japan Championship, which starts on January 22:
Ito's fate is in his own hands, and to get more points in this game, he also has to rely on Hirano's poor performance.
The points for this match are: 120 points for the champion, 100 points for the runner-up, 80 points for the 3rd-4th place, 50 points for the 5th-8th place, 20 points for the round of 16, and 10 points for the round of 32
If Ito doesn't finish second in the points after this race, it will be very difficult to go to the Olympics. Because the third place in the Japanese team is recommended, according to the current situation, Zhang Benmei and the greatest chance. Meihe not only made a breakthrough in singles, creating difficulties for Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the main force of national table tennis, but also mixed doubles and women's doubles have been pairing.
And this is Ito's disadvantage, he has not participated in the mixed doubles and women's doubles competitions this year, and he is also a bit "arrogant". Especially in the Hangzhou Asian Games, after losing the women's singles, she directly stopped playing the group, and the Japanese team also had opinions about her.
Of course, Ito still has a chance to earn extra points, but this one is even more difficult! That is, he can gain +10 points for defeating the top three players in the national table tennis rankings in international competitions. Hirano's previous victory over Sun Yingsha added points.
But this is almost impossible for Ito, after the Tokyo Olympics, the main force of national table tennis to play Ito is to chop melons and vegetables, and most of them are clean sheets. So from this point of view, the Japanese team is also reluctant to choose her as the "third person".
If Ito really can't participate in the Olympics, it's really a pity. The gold, silver and bronze medalist who won gold, silver and bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympics may be saying goodbye to table tennis!
