Recently, the tactical adjustment of the table tennis mixed doubles match at the Paris Olympics has become the focus of attention. The Japan Table Tennis Association seems to have made a big gamble before the Olympics open, hoping to break the dominance of national table tennis with a new mixed doubles combination. This tactical adjustment aims to create new opponents for the national table tennis Shatou combination, which will become a major challenge for the Chinese team in the Paris Olympics.
Japan's Olympic selection rules revealed.
The Japan Table Tennis Association's Olympic selection rules show a quest for flexibility. The top two players will qualify directly based on points, while the third place will be recommended directly by the coaching staff. Currently, Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano are in the top two spots in the Olympic standings, while the third Olympic women's team spot will be recommended by the coaching staff. This gives the Japan Table Tennis Association more options for the most powerful combination to tackle the Paris Olympics.
The main force of Japanese women's table tennis has emerged.
In the current Olympic cycle, Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano have become the Japanese female table tennis players who have defeated the most national table tennis players. Miwa Haramoto has shown remarkable progress in a short period of time, forming a strong backbone with Hayata and Hirano. This allowed the Japanese Table Tennis Association to see a powerful trio to fight against the impact of national table tennis at the Paris Olympics.
Challenge the new mixed doubles combination of national table tennis.
Although Tomokazu Haramoto and Hina Hayada were the best performers in the Japanese mixed doubles, they were repeatedly defeated against the Shatou pair of national table tennis. In order to have a better chance of winning the gold medal in the Olympic Games, the Japanese table tennis coaching staff decided to win by surprise. Japan may send Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Haramoto to this new pair to the mixed doubles tournament to break through the strong squad of national table tennis.
The strong alliance of Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Zhangmoto.
Although Tomokazu Haramoto and Hina Hayada were the best in the mixed doubles, they have not been able to beat the Shatou pair of national table tennis, which prompted Japanese table tennis to consider other mixed doubles pairs. The most likely replacement is the combination of Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Zhangmoto. They have been working together for a long time, achieving outstanding results in the Challenger and Feeder Tournaments on many occasions, and even showed a surprising threat against the Shatou pair of national table tennis at the recent Chengdu World Cup Mixed Team Event.
The original intention of the tactical adjustment.
The original intention of the tactical adjustment is that the Japanese table tennis hopes to break the mixed doubles deadlock with the national table tennis by changing the new combination. Although Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayada have excellent performances in terms of individual ability, they have not been able to defeat the Shatou combination of national table tennis in the tournament. Therefore, the Japanese table tennis hopes to create more chances to win the championship by sending Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Zhang to use their consistent performance and threat to the Shatou combination.
A precursor to the Chengdu World Cup mixed team event.
At the recently concluded Chengdu World Cup Mixed Team Competition, Japanese table tennis showed the strength of the new combination. In the mixed doubles match against the national table tennis team, they adopted a new combination - Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Haramoto, and achieved an excellent performance. This is also the reason why the Japanese table tennis coaching staff believes that this new combination is expected to break the deadlock in the Olympic mixed doubles competition.
The prospects for the Paris Olympics are worrying.
The Paris Olympics will be an unprecedented showdown between Chinese women's table tennis and Japanese women's table tennis. Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Miwa Zhang will form the core and main force of Japanese women's table tennis, posing a strong impact on the women's singles and women's team of national table tennis. In the mixed doubles, if Japan chooses Hayasuke Togami and Miwa Zhangmoto, they may become the new opponents of the national table tennis Shatou combination, bringing greater challenges to the Chinese team.
Summary. 
In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, the tactical adjustments of the Japanese table tennis team have attracted widespread attention. They hope to break the mixed doubles deadlock with the national table tennis team through the new mixed doubles combination and compete for more gold medals. The Paris Olympics are destined to be the pinnacle of table tennis between China and Japan, and the new mixed doubles combination will bring more uncertainty to the competition. Looking forward to this pinnacle showdown between China and Japan, we will wait and see!
