At the end of the all-day championships, Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Hina Hayada won the men's singles and women's singles championships, and the singles quota for the Japanese team to participate in the Paris Olympics has also been released, namely Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Hayasuke Togami in men's singles, and Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano in women's singles. Next, the Japanese team will announce the lineup for the Olympic Games on February 5, and it will be interesting to see who will partner with the last train of the team among the women's players.
In the Olympic points selection, Ito ranked third and Miwa Haramoto ranked fourth, but the number of team places is not determined by ranking, but by the Japan Table Tennis Association. Misei Ito won 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in the last Tokyo Olympics, Miwa Zhang is 16 years old, representing the future of Japanese table tennis, and she has beaten Hina Hayata, Misei Ito and other players, and her strength itself is also very strong.
So who is between Misei Ito and Miwa Zhangmoto, who will be decided to participate in the Paris Olympics? Yoshihito Miyazaki, Japan's "Godfather of Table Tennis," was asked when he participated in the program, "Who should we choose to defeat China?" and he directly replied: Miwa Zhangmoto. Yoshihito Miyazaki is currently the Managing Director of the Japan Table Tennis Association and the former head of the Strengthening Headquarters. When he was the head coach of Japanese table tennis, he proposed to break the generation to catch up with China. In 2002, as the head coach of the national team, he personally guided Mizutani Hayabusa, Niwa Takashi and others.
Miwa Haramoto has a lot of hope, and about the third member of the women's team at the Paris Olympics, Takehiro Watanabe, head coach of the Japanese women's team, said: "This issue will be discussed again and again in the future. It's very distressing. At the same time, he also said that he was surprised and surprised by the rise of Zhang Benmeihe.
Ito was frustrated after missing out on the women's singles quota at the Olympics, and she said of her place in the team event, saying: "Even if I am selected, there is no clear decision whether I will participate or not. ”
In recent years, Misei Ito has never defeated the main force of national table tennis, and Miwa Zhang represents the future, and has defeated Sun Yingsha at the doubles level, and has partnered with Miyu Hirano, who has already locked the Olympic quota, in doubles, so it is understandable why the outside world is more optimistic about Miwa Zhangmoto.
