Misei Ito has been hit hard! For the first time in six years, it fell out of the top 10 in the world rankings
Not long ago, the WTF announced the world rankings for the seventh week of 2024, and Japanese Olympic champion Kamito Ito suffered a heavy blow, she was squeezed out of the top 10 in women's singles for the first time in six years, and is now ranked 14th, her worst result in eight years; Not long ago, Ito's godmother was kicked out of the Paris Olympics, which is really a double whammy.
However, Ito Misei did not mean to be discouraged at all, when he shouted this sentence, he had already said his kingship, which made fans wonder: Does he have that strength? That should be a big number as well!
In the Rio Olympic cycle, Ito Misei will be the strongest in the women's team, she entered the Japanese national team at the age of 15, and then in the Tokyo Olympics, she defeated Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, all showed good strength, only Chen Meng has not scored, so she won the second and third places in the mixed doubles and women's team again.
As her results improved, so did Ito's ranking, and she has been in the top 10 of the women's singles since August 2017 and has not broken that position for six consecutive years, but on February 13 this year, she finally came to an end.
In fact, Ito's world ranking has declined, more or less in parallel with the Olympic qualifying tournament - because she has to concentrate on preparing for the qualifying tournament, she has not participated in international competitions, and she has obtained a lot fewer points, and finally failed to enter the Olympics, and her world ranking has also fallen, which is the so-called "rain at home".
With her previous results cancelled and no new points added, Ito's women's singles spot dropped to 14th, a major blow to former world No. 2.
But, as mentioned earlier, after a long adjustment after an Olympic defeat, Ito has re-established a new goal – the world rankings. Although she has dropped out of the top 10 at the moment, I think this result is what she expected, so it won't affect her pursuit of new goals.
However, Misei Ito, who once crushed the mother of Chinese table tennis, has never been able to reach the throne of the world's No. 1. Perhaps, as many fans say: Ito's years of table tennis in Japan have passed.
Ito's godmother"No. 1 in the world"Will the warnings really work this time? We'll see!
