Dear fans and friends, when Misei Ito lost 3-4 to Kasumi Kimura in the quarterfinals of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships, missed the opportunity to advance to the semifinals, and failed to qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics, the entire fan circle fell into contemplation and discussion. It's a game full of drama, so let's take a look back and dive into this high-profile event.
The most eye-catching scene of the All Japan Table Tennis Championships was undoubtedly the fierce battle between Ito and Miu Hirano for a place in the women's singles at the Paris Olympics. Before the match, Hina Hayada had already secured a place in the women's singles, while the remaining spot was contested between Ito and Hirano.
Since the fourth round, their form has been in full swing, and they have experienced one hard-fought battle after another. Miu Hirano defeated Rin 4-3, while Misei Ito narrowly defeated Moe Nomura 4-3. In the fifth round, the two defeated their opponents respectively, showing their outstanding strength and experience in the competition. This process has made it clear that it takes a lot of hard work to stand out from the competition, and that the battle for Olympic qualification is clearly not an easy one.
In the quarterfinals, Miu Hirano was in a brave state, defeating Satsuki Oto 4-0, while Misei Ito encountered the dark horse Kasumi Kimura and started an epic battle of life and death. In this match, Kasumi Kimura's tactical performance was very good, the quality of the return serve was stable, and the ability to return the ball and backhand was outstanding. Ito fought hard, but in the end, he was unable to defeat this formidable opponent.
This situation confirms the rapid rise of the new generation of players, and the traditional strong teams must always remain competitive and not slack off. Kasumi Kimura's upset victory also made us more aware that in top competitive sports, unpredictable battles are always inevitable.
Ito fought valiantly in the fight but ultimately failed to advance, while Miu Hirano emerged as the ultimate winner with a consistent performance. She maintained her form, reaching the semi-finals and finishing runner-up at the All Japan Championships, finishing second in the Olympic standings and qualifying for the Women's Singles Games in Paris. This is undoubtedly a new pinnacle of her career.
The victory was not accidental, and the reason why Miu Hirano was able to maintain her fighting spirit and win the match was because she maintained a steady mentality in the face of fierce competition. This is also a big lesson we can get from her, that is, in high-level sports competition, mental stability is also crucial.
However, Ito can only settle at 471 in the standings5 points, ranked third, and missed the qualification for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics. She had won the mixed doubles title at the Tokyo Olympics, but this time, her trip to Paris seemed to be ending early. This is undoubtedly a great regret.
The brutality and calmness of athletic competition are once again revealed in this moment, and one small mistake can lead to irreparable results. However, we should give Ito more encouragement and support, as her table tennis career is far from over, and she still has a chance to make her mark in the Olympic women's table tennis team. Now, she needs to adjust her mindset and move on with a fuller state.
After Ito's regret of missing out on the Paris Olympics, Miu Hirano successfully advanced to the semifinals and finally won the runner-up of the All Japan Championships, with 491 points, ranking second in the Olympic standings and officially qualifying for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics. After this competition, she will join hands with Hina Hayada in the women's table tennis competition at the Paris Olympics.
This occasion is a great opportunity for us to see the power of teamwork, and we look forward to their outstanding performance at the Paris Olympics and more medals for Japan." At the same time, we should continue to pay attention to other Japanese table tennis players and hope that they will create more brilliance on the international stage.
