The 2024 Macau World Cup Table Tennis Tournament is a hot mess. On April 15th, as soon as the game opened, all the masters began to show their swords, especially the eye-catching game, the Japanese table tennis queen Miu Hirano against New Zealand's teenager Jocelyn, which was really eye-opening.
Miu Hirano, Japan's national treasure, is a skilled player with a stellar record that has not only won many great results on the international stage, but also intimidated his opponents. And in this World Cup, her performance still did not disappoint, and the whole game was almost unbeatable.
In the first game of the game, the duel between Miu Hirano and Jocelyn was a-for-tat confrontation at first. But as the competition progressed, the gap in experience and skill became apparent. Especially in the third and fourth games, Miu Hirano simply showed what it means to "take the lead", with a score of 11:0 for two consecutive games, such a result is not only a technical crush, but also like telling the world that her status as a king is not in vain.
In this regard, some viewers lamented that Miu Hirano is too strong, and it seems a bit too harsh to be so strict with a 15-year-old player. After all, table tennis, as a sports competition, should have some sportsmanship tolerance in addition to the competition. After all, Jocelyn is still just a fledgling star, coming from a country that is not rich in table tennis resources, and such a big score may be a blow to her confidence.
Some people also believe that in the sports arena, fair competition is emphasized, and strength is king. Miu Hirano's approach is also strictly following the rules to show her best self, and the weakness of her opponent is not something she can control. In addition, it also reflects that some of the ITTF's tournament schedules may need to be adjusted to avoid such disparities of strength from happening too often.
Although Jocelyn suffered a setback this time, such an experience was also a valuable asset for her growth. In sports, failure is a common occurrence, and the key is how to learn from failure, reflect and improve yourself. Hopefully, this experience will motivate her to train harder when she goes back and perform better on the international stage in the future."
While some argue that Hirano's approach is too harsh, from a competitive sports standpoint, her performance has been impeccable, demonstrating the level and professionalism expected of a top player. For a rising star like Jocelyn, this experience is hard, but it is a necessary way to grow. Hopefully, in the future, she will be able to face such challenges, and she will be able to persevere, move forward bravely, and finally show her own light on the international stage. Whether it is Miu Hirano's overwhelming victory or Jocelin's painful lesson, they are part of the sports arena and an indispensable lesson in the growth of every athlete.
In the arena, we can see more fierce and fair confrontations, and see every athlete grow in competition, surpass in challenges, and finally realize their sports dreams. At the same time, it is also hoped that the ITTF can make more reasonable adjustments to the event arrangement, so that every game is full of highlights, and at the same time, every player is given a fair chance to compete.
Although I understand the cruelty and professionalism of the game, I still hope that under the guidance of sportsmanship, there will be more care and support for young stars, so that they can not lose the courage and hope to move forward in the face of setbacks. After all, the ultimate goal of sports, in addition to competition itself, is to build a more resilient personality and convey a positive outlook on life.
