Miu Hirano was eliminated in 7 rounds, and she lost in an upset just after being selected for the Olympics
On the morning of January 27, Beijing time, the Japanese Table Tennis National Championships broke out again in a big upset, and the world champion Miu Hirano, who had just won the women's singles qualification for the Paris Olympics, collapsed in 7 games, and lost 3-4 to the mediocre Japanese second-rate athlete Akae Xiaxing, and the deciding game was only lost by 2 points and was killed, which is really embarrassing.
In the process of previous interviews, Miu Hirano once said that the goal of this year's Olympic Games is the gold medal, hoping to beat the Chinese players, but Japan did not even reach the semifinals, it seems that it is too early to say!
Miu Hirano was the big winner of the National Championships, because this battle officially established her position as the second place in the team selection standings, and thus squeezed out Misei Ito and successfully qualified for the women's singles and women's team events at the Paris Olympics.
Compared to Miu Hirano, Natsuhoshi Akae is not well-known in Japan, let alone doing anything on the international stage, so it is generally believed that it will be difficult for her to beat the World Champion - but when Misei Ito played Kasumi Kimura before, many fans thought the same way, and as a result, Ito was out, and now it is Hirano's turn to follow.
After the start of the game, Miu Hirano played very well in the first game, only allowing the opponent to take 3 points to end the battle, which can be said to be like a rainbow, but then her state began to fluctuate, losing 5-11 in the second game, and collapsing 6-11 in the third game.
In the fourth game, Miu Hirano fought to 14 draws and finally won 16-14, but in the fifth game, he lost 4-11 and was forced into a desperate situation, and although he won 11-4 in the sixth game, he finally collapsed 9-11 and lost 2 points in the decisive game, so he was eliminated by the opponent.
I have to say that the competition in Japanese table tennis is indeed very fierce, although Miu Hirano and Misei Ito are world champions or Olympic champions, they have lost a lot of games in China in recent years. After the start of this championship, the two almost lost to a round, and then Ito Misei took the lead in losing to Kimura Kasumi 3-4, and then Hirano Miyu also lost to Akae Natsuhoi 3-4, which seems to be still unstable.
Of course, if you just come for the Olympic qualification, Miu Hirano has already completed her task, after all, she will not meet Chijiang Xia Xing during the Olympic Games, so let's continue to wait and see the follow-up dynamics of this female table tennis celebrity!
