Ri Ping Pong put forward the goal of surpassing the Chinese team in 2031! Zhang Benzhihe may become a key figure. On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of its establishment, the Japan Table Tennis Association announced its 100th anniversary long-term plan, saying that it will surpass the Chinese team in 2031 and become the world's first table tennis power. In order to achieve this goal, the Japan Table Tennis Association has also formulated 15 action plans, under which young players will continue to be trained.
Although the goals set by the Japan Table Tennis Association seem unlikely to be achieved, considering the huge reserve force of Japanese table tennis, it has also created a lot of pressure on the national table tennis, and the progress of the Japanese team in recent years is still very large, and a number of young players such as Ito Mimachi, Zhang Benzhi and so on have emerged, so the national table tennis can not be taken lightly. Why the Japanese team can have such a big progress in recent years, mainly because they have adopted a generation-off training strategy, in addition to the veterans, even the mesozoic players have been abandoned together, the focus of training has been placed on the post-00 players, although Ito Mimachi, Zhang Benzhi and have shown good strength, but if they fall behind in the competition, Hayata Hina, Nagasaki Miyu, Kihara Miyu and other younger players will quickly rise up, such as Hirano Miyu was once regarded by many people as the biggest opponent in the future of national table tennis in the first three years But now Hirano Has been surpassed by Ito.
In addition to becoming the world's first, the Japan Table Tennis Association also hopes to develop table tennis into a national sport, improve the value of table tennis in society, and the Japan Table Tennis Association also plans to launch a table tennis TV channel in 2022, in addition to playing various table tennis events, will also play some athletes' documentaries, which will to a certain extent motivate children who like table tennis to continue to work hard, it can be seen that the Japanese team's off-generation training strategy can continue, in contrast, the national table tennis has room for improvement in this regard. It is hoped that the national table tennis team will also increase the training of young players in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Benzhihe said in an interview before that he was confident of participating in 6 consecutive Olympic Games until the 2040 Olympic Games. From the perspective of the Long-term Planning of the Japanese Table Tennis Association, Zhang Benzhihe may become a key figure, first of all, Zhang Benzhihe is only 18 years old now, even if he is only 28 years old after 10 years, and Zhang Benzhihe also believes that he can play for another 20 years, although it is unlikely to play for another 20 years, but it is still relatively easy to achieve another 10 years, so in the next 10 years Zhang Benzhihe should be the main opponent of national table tennis.
