The Montpellier Championship is on October 22-27, and the Eintracht Frankfurt Championship is on November 3-10, and it seems a little strange that Hina Hayada will not play.
The table tennis Asian Championships held in Astana, Kazakhstan, Hina Hayada went with the Japan table tennis team, she originally signed up for the women's team and women's singles two events, but she did not play a single women's team competition, and also said that she would withdraw from the women's singles project in the middle of the competition, as a result, she won the Asian Championship women's team championship lying down, 16-year-old Zhang Benmeihe is a succession to beat Wang Yidi, Sun Yingsha to create a 50-year record for Japanese table tennis.
Hina Hayada is a left-hander, she suffered an injury to her left hand at the Paris Olympics, but she insisted on playing the entire Paris Olympics with an injury, and finally she won a bronze medal in women's singles and a silver medal in women's singles. (It is not known whether she will play in the WTT Fukuoka Finals in Japan)
Hina Hayada talked about the reason for her consecutive retirements: her left arm that was injured at the Paris Olympics has not yet healed, and if she comes back early, she is afraid that she will not be able to continue playing in the future, and now is the treatment period, and she is also trying to recover.
Hina Hayada also mentioned that her goal is to compete in Los Angeles in four years, and the points and rankings are not important for the moment, and now she needs to strengthen her muscles for the Olympics in four years, so as to reduce the risk of injury. There are so many things to do now, and I will record them in my notebook.
