The Chinese table tennis team, whether in the men's team and the women's team, currently has a very big advantage in the world, the only one who can create some trouble for the Chinese team in the Olympics is the Japanese team, especially the Japanese women's team, their overall strength is still relatively good, in terms of the classification of the women's team in the world, China is the only gear, and then Japan is the only gear, followed by other countries. Although Japan and China have a gap in gear, they are still our strongest opponents.
When it comes to the Japanese table tennis team, I believe that there are two female players who are most loved by China, the first is Ai Fukuhara, and the second is Kasumi Ishikawa, but unfortunately, these two players are currently retired. Especially Kasumi Ishikawa, her personality is very gentle, and she is full of respect for the Chinese table tennis team and love for Chinese culture, which has also won her the popularity of many Chinese table tennis fans. Kasumi Ishikawa has long since retired in this Olympic cycle, and she used to be the main opponent of the Chinese team and the captain of the Japanese team, but it is difficult to see her in table tennis now.
But recently her new position has been exposed, making it possible for Chinese table tennis fans to see this very favorite player of the Japanese table tennis team in China. Kasumi Ishikawa has been invited to be the guest host of a special Olympic program organized by Fuji TV in Japan, called "Paris 2024", and she is of course responsible for the more familiar table tennis sport. According to the design of this documentary, it will be a full record of the Japanese table tennis players in order to qualify for the Olympic Games. The training camp and the period leading up to the Olympics were recorded on camera, cut into films, and broadcast on Fuji TV.
The first documentary to be shown on the show is the upcoming World Cup in Macau. According to the current situation, there is a great possibility that Kasumi Ishikawa will follow the Japanese table tennis team and Fuji TV to Macau, China, and follow the whole process of the Japanese team in the Macau World Cup. The Chinese table tennis team is also actively preparing for these competitions, which means that Ishikawa will meet many old friends of the Chinese table tennis team in Macau.
For Chinese table tennis fans, what they want to see most is the same frame of her and Ma Long. Although she is younger than Ma Long, she has now retired, Ma Long is still playing, and the friendship and fate between the two are still highly respected by fans. Although Ishikawa Kasumi admires Ma Long very much, and can even be said to be Ma Long's little fan sister, but Ma Long already has a heart, so there are many people who hope that she and her Sichuan family will form a CP, which is definitely unrealizable, and the greater regret is that Ishikawa Kasumi has always wanted to partner with Ma Long to participate in the mixed doubles competition, but in the end, he was not able to make the trip, which is a pity.
If I can meet Ma Long again in Macau this time, I believe that Fuji TV will definitely have more traffic and attention, especially to attract the attention of our Chinese fans, and should also actively match, so that Ma Long and Ishikawa Kasumi can meet at the World Cup, and even let Ishikawa Kasumi conduct some interviews with Ma Long. I think such a program will definitely attract the attention of table tennis fans in China and Japan.
