The Busan World Table Tennis Championships played 11:0 many times, why did the unspoken rules used by national table tennis against Ai Fukuhara disappear

The Japanese women's table tennis team's performance of the final drama has also caused controversy in China. In the women's group stage of the World Table Tennis Championships team competition (Busan), the Japanese team defeated the South African team 3-0 on the 18th and won three consecutive victories. In this match, Miyu Kihara (Kinoshita) who appeared in the first set and Miu Hirano (Kinoshita) in the second set both completed the first game 11-0. The table tennis world has long had a default rule of giving 1 point to the opponent if he deliberately makes a mistake considering the opponent's side, and in China, the 11-0 run by two Japanese players has also attracted attention.

Miu Hirano

Some media believe that "handicaps" are not allowed in the Japanese team, so Miu Hirano won 11-0, which shows that she does not want to follow the default rules. And the first sister Hina Hayada (Japanese Life) did not finish sealing the opponent, so it is speculated that "Hina Hayada is kind-hearted". There are also media who believe that 11-0 in a single game is "a rare score". The day before, the national table tennis women's Wang Manyu also won an 11-0 victory in the match with Uzbekistan, "Although some people think that it is too rude to the other party, there are also people who think that going all out is the greatest respect for others."

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the big demon Zhang Yining deliberately conceded and lost 1 point to Japan's Ai Fukuhara. Some media analysis reports said: "Why did the "Unwritten Rules" that started with Zhang Yining conceding one point to Ai Fukuhara disappear?".

In the women's singles match of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yining deliberately gave Ai Fukuhara 1 point when she led Ai Fukuhara 9-0. "In the past, there was an unwritten rule in the table tennis world that playing 11-0 would make the opponent lose face, so it has always been avoided. However, the rumor that it was rude to the other side to make a handicap also spread. ”

Zhang Yining VS Ai Fukuhara

Chinese table tennis has long had an advantage in the international table tennis arena, but it has also conceded on the grounds of "friendship first, competition second", but as time goes by, various relevant people have different opinions on this behavior. For the leading side, conceding a point may reduce concentration and tension, while for the giving side, it can create frustration. From a fair standpoint, both sides should do their best to get to the game.

It can only be said that with the changes of the times, the table tennis world seems to have changed a lot.
