Is Japanese table tennis gambling? Give up Ito Misei to choose Zhang Benmeiwa, and national table tennis needs to take caution
The Japan Table Tennis Association recently announced the players participating in the table tennis events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, including Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Miwa Haramoto.
After the Japanese women's singles competition at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano finished with 910She finished second with 5 points and 538 points, which had a big impact on the Japanese women's singles competition. The "third man" in the group stage, Japan sent 15-year-old Miwa Haramoto, while Kamito Ito, who finished third, was unfortunately not selected.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Ito's mother performed very well, she won the mixed doubles, women's doubles and women's doubles three championships, became the core of the national table tennis, and made great contributions to the national table tennis. At the age of 23, she could have shown her strength in the Paris Olympics, but who knew that she lost her place, not only did she not get the "third person" of the women's team, but also lost a place, which made her very disappointed.
What's going on?
This shows that Japanese women's gymnastics has developed rapidly in recent years, and a large number of outstanding athletes have emerged, even the top 10 players in the world may not be eligible to enter the Olympic arena. In the past, the national table tennis team was so "extravagant", who would have thought that the Japanese national table tennis team would "roll in" to such an extent.
From another point of view, the Japan Table Tennis Association has some problems in the selection of Olympic athletes.
Hina Hayada has completely established the status of the "first sister" of Japanese women's singles, whether it is a "civil war" or a "foreign war", she has performed very well, plus she has won two matches against Wang Yidi, so it is natural that she was selected as a women's player.
However, Miu Hirano finished runner-up in the qualifying round with only 18 in the world, which is enough to prove that she is known as the "King of Civil War". When she first started her career, she won gold medals in women's singles at the Asian Championships and the World Cup, but she was already old. Last season, Sun Yingsha's upset was also exposed, but this is also"Once in a thousand years"things. In terms of "stability in foreign competitions", Miu Hirano and Kamimu Ito are too far apart. If you choose Ito's godmother, although you may not be able to defeat the national table tennis team, the chance of entering the semi-finals is still very high, but if you choose Miu Hirano, it will have a great chance of winning against any opponent.
The "third person" of Japanese table tennis abandoned Mina Ito, and became the No. 16 seed with Miwa Zhangmoto, which also means that this game is a "bet". The Japanese have had a "tradition" since ancient times, and that is to "bet on the fortune of the country".
The Japanese side can be regarded as acquiescing, whether it is Miwa Zhangmoto or Misei Ito, they will not have any chance. Therefore, the selection of the "third person" is to consider whether he can bring enough pressure to the national table tennis team. Although Zhang has not beaten the four core players of the national table tennis team, he can play a match with Sun Yingsha or Wang Manyu, which is much better than a player like Misei Ito, who is often kept a clean sheet.
In the end, the national table tennis team cannot use the system to select talents like Japan. Institutions are dead things, but people are dead things.
Some people may say that this is more just. However, nothing is created equal. What is the ultimate goal of sports? It all depends on the final result.
Many times, some people will say that the national table tennis team is not fair enough to the athletes, but if the national table tennis team can win the championship, then the staff of the national team and the athletes will not be at fault. And the player who was not selected, sorry, she was not the "best candidate".
According to the selection plan of the Japan Table Tennis Association, Ma Long underwent knee surgery at the Tokyo Olympics and has been absent for half a year, so the coach and association of the national table tennis let Ma Long represent the national table tennis and won the men's singles gold medal in the Olympic Games, which is also a new record.
As soon as an expert makes a move, he must be much more accurate than outsiders, and he must be much more accurate, and be able to adapt and make corresponding adjustments. We already have a well-developed training system, and we can't let the Japanese disrupt our rhythm.
