After being selected for the Olympic Games, Miyu Hirano said bluntly: The goal is to win the gold medal and want to defeat the Chinese players

The 2024 Paris Olympics is approaching, and the Japanese women's table tennis star and world champion Miu Hirano has received a good news, that is, his teammate Misei Ito, who competes for Olympic qualification, was upset in the last selection tournament (Japanese Table Tennis Championships), so according to the regulations of the Japan Table Tennis Association, Miu Hirano will qualify for this year's Olympic Games in both singles and team events in advance.

In the course of the subsequent interview, Miu Hirano was very happy with the result, and while sharing with reporters her disappointment when she lost the singles at the last Olympic Games, she also expressed her expectations for this Olympics - "The goal is to win the gold medal, and I hope to defeat the Chinese players on the stage of the Olympic Games." I want to thank the audience and tell them that as long as they don't give up, they can do it!"

Miyu Hirano, who was born in 2000, was the number one opponent of national table tennis, and won the women's singles gold medal in the World Cup at the age of 16, becoming the youngest singles world champion in the history of table tennis, and then at the age of 17, he won the three main forces of national table tennis at the Asian Championships, Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling, and Chen Meng, and reached the top, which shook the entire table tennis world at that time.

However, since then, Miu Hirano has begun to "get rich and be safe", and her enterprising spirit has greatly declined, and as a result, she has not only been defeated repeatedly against the national table tennis, but also has been losing to many Japanese players.

After years of sinking, Miu Hirano finally rose again in 2022 and 2023, defeating the main national table tennis team Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha twice, and also won the championship of the selection tournament internally, and the points are also rising, as of the start of the 2024 Japan National Championships, she has led Ito Misei by 34.5 points, second only to Hina Hayata, ranking second in the team.

However, because the gap is not large, Miu Hirano is still threatened by Misei Ito, if the Championships are not well played and surpassed by the other party, they will lose the Olympic singles again, the pressure on both is very high, and they were almost eliminated in the first round, and then they played bumps and bumps, as a result, Misei Ito took the lead in collapsing, losing 3-4 to Kasumi Kimura and was eliminated, Miu Hirano had the last laugh.

As mentioned earlier, Miu Hirano was only one step away from being selected for the Olympic singles at the last Olympic Games, and she recalled that her mentality at that time was not very good, and she had been avoiding after the selection, and even felt that she "hated table tennis" and "didn't want to play table tennis", but she finally came out of the shadows and won the opportunity for herself again, which was indeed not easy.

Although Miu Hirano is far less of a threat to the national table tennis than she was at the beginning of 2017, after all, she is an athlete who broke through the main defense of the Chinese team twice last year, and she still has a strong impact, so she must be guarded against. So can this former "genius girl" rise again at this year's Olympics? The suspense still exists, let's wait and see what happens!
