Analysis on the List of Japanese Men's Table Tennis Team Competition
The Japan Table Tennis Association announced the list of men's and women's teams. The Japanese men's team is led by the famous Zhang Benzhihe, and the women's team is led by the famous Ito Meicheng.
In fact, although the Japan Table Tennis Association has just published this list, according to its selection rules for the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships formulated at the end of last year, the list of candidates has already been settled.
Although Mikei Ito missed the semi-final of women's singles in Japan's Top 32 competition in March this year (2-4 lost to American friend Nagasaki), Mikei Ito was the first finalist with the bronze medal of women's singles in Tokyo Olympic Games and the champion of women's singles in the All-Japan Table Tennis Championships in June 2006. Similarly, as the champion of men's singles in the All-Japan Table Tennis Championships, Yukichi Inoguchi also took the lead in locking in the qualification of the men's team.
The list of other members of the Japanese team was produced by the trials-the top 32 in Japan. Zhang Benzhihe, Kawasaki, Yokogawa and yuriko koike ranked in the top four of the men's singles, while Ji Zaitai and other famous players were defeated. The top four women's singles are Hayata Hina, Nagasaki Miyo, Muhara Miyo and Sato Pupil, and they will go to Chengdu together.
World champion Miyuki Ping Ye lost 2-4 to Miyuki Muyuan in the women's singles final of Japanese Top 32, and veteran Ishikawa Kasumi lost 1/4 to Hayata Hina in the final, which also made two players who participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games miss the team World Table Tennis Championships. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that Ishikawa Kasumi has missed the Japanese World Table Tennis Championships since the Zagreb World Table Tennis Championships in 2007.
Judging from the announced lineup, the Japanese team in this World Table Tennis Championships is dominated by young players, and they hope to have an impact on Guo Ping with a relatively novel lineup. While paying attention to Zhang Benzhi and Ito Meicheng, we should not treat these strange teenagers like Guo Ping lightly.
