And this time, after leaving Paris as a commentator, Kasumi Ishikawa talked about Chen Meng again.
When asked in an interview who is optimistic about winning the Olympic women's singles title, Kasumi Ishikawa said: I hope Hina Hayada or Hirano can win the championship for Japan, if the champion is not the Japan team, then I hope my good friend Chen Meng can defend the Olympic title, I miss her very much.

Back then, Kasumi Ishikawa and Chen Meng played against each other many times in table tennis tournaments, and the two established a mutual affection in the fierce competition.
